Spawing ksoftirqd, migration, or watchdog, and calling init_timers_cpu() may
fail with small memory. If it happens in initcalls, kernel NULL pointer
dereference happens later. This patch makes crash happen immediately in
such cases. It seems a bit better than getting kernel NULL pointer
dereference later.
