debugobjects: fix lockdep warning

We fix it by moving the actual freeing to outside the lock (the lock
now only protects the list).
The pool lock is also promoted to irq-safe (suggested by Dan). It's
necessary because free_pool is now called outside the irq disabled
region. So we need to protect against an interrupt handler which calls
debug_object_init().
[tglx@linutronix.de: added hlist_move_list helper to avoid looping
through the list twice]
