It is possible that schedule(), and hence cyclic_run(), gets called
very early, perhaps even from assembly code. With
commit 9c1b13b3fd ("cyclic: reduce get_timer_us() calls inside
hlist_for_each_entry_safe()"), there is now an unconditional
get_timer_us(0) done outside the loop, and depending on the platform,
the timer infrastructure may not be set up yet. In at least one case,
that has caused a divide-by-0 and hence a failure to boot.
Platforms should really ensure their timers are ready ASAP, and in the
concrete case reported, that was indeed possible to fix that
way. However, it doesn't hurt to also insert an early return here, and
that could prevent other such hard-to-debug boot failures.
