workqueue: BUG_ON() a pwq release before workqueue_init()
put_pwq() bounces the release to pwq_release_worker to get out from
under pool->lock. workqueue_init() creates that kthread_worker well
after workqueue_init_early() has built the system workqueues, so a pwq
allocation failing partway through apply_wqattrs_prepare() unwinds
through apply_wqattrs_cleanup() and dereferences a NULL worker.
There is no way back from that. Running the release inline is not an
option, that is what the bounce exists for, and workqueue_init_early()
already BUG_ON()s a system workqueue it failed to allocate.
BUG_ON() the missing worker instead of oopsing inside
kthread_queue_work().
