John Ogness 0161e2d695 printk: Defer legacy printing when holding printk_cpu_sync
The documentation of printk_cpu_sync_get() clearly states
that the owner must never perform any activities where it waits
for a CPU. For legacy printing there can be spinning on the
console_lock and on the port lock. Therefore legacy printing
must be deferred when holding the printk_cpu_sync.

Note that in the case of emergency states, atomic consoles
are not prevented from printing when printk is deferred. This
is appropriate because they do not spin-wait indefinitely for
other CPUs.
