I believe this is harmless because no other other tasks than init are queued at that
time. But I don't know, may be calling schedule() involves some things that
are not ready yet at that time.

Either we add a system_state check in schedule_debug() or we fix the callers
to not call schedule when system_state shows we are booting..
