[PATCH printk v2 0/5] various cleanups

[John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de>]

Hi,

This is v2 of a series working towards threaded/atomic console
printing. This series is only a subset of the original
v1 [0]. That series began with various cleanups before adding
the threaded/atomic code. Since none of those cleanups made it
into the recent 6.5 merge window, I have decided to post them
as their own series. I hope this helps to get them accepted
without being attached to any threaded/atomic discussions.

Changes since v1:

- drop patches 5-18 (they will return in a follow-up series)

- console_unblank() aborts if called from NMI context

- console_flush_on_panic() directly flushes rather than using
console_lock/_unlock dance (because console_lock/_unlock is not
NMI-safe)

- remove @console_suspended and rely only on CON_SUSPENDED flag

- rename abandon_console_lock_in_panic() to
other_cpu_in_panic()

- console_trylock() and console_lock() will fail and block,
respectively, while another CPU is in panic

- adjust various comments and whitespace as suggested
