inval_wq_set() schedules dentry_tree_work when inval_wq is enabled.
But inval_wq_set() can be called at boot or module load before
fuse_dentry_tree_init() initializes the work, so __queue_delayed_work()
warns and the work never starts.
So defer scheduling the work until fuse_dentry_tree_init() sets it up.
Fixes: ab84ad597386 ("fuse: new work queue to periodically invalidate expired dentries")

2) TO-BE (after fix)
- no error while booting, and also fuse_dentry_tree_work works well.
