Local fix

If possible, remove definition for this variable or set it to
false (default).  This variable was introduced at 8.0.0.4 and
8.5.0.1.

com.ibm.ws.cdi.immediate.ejb.start=false

A null pointer exception can be seen coming from
ResourceInjectionServiceImpl when
com.ibm.ws.cdi.immediate.ejb.start=true

Problem conclusion

The code path that is travelled when
com.ibm.ws.cdi.immediate.ejb.start=true was modified to set an
additional variable in ResourceInjectionServiceImpl so it will
not be null when it is needed.
