[PATCH printk 5/6] printk: Add panic+kexec flush point

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

During panic, nbcon consoles transition to atomic printing. However,
there are consoles that do not support safe atomic printing
(CON_NBCON_ATOMIC_UNSAFE). Such consoles will only flush during
panic if their unsafe flush policy allows them to do so.

The unsafe flush policy NBCON_PANIC_FLUSH only allows unsafe
flushing when particular flushes are explicitly invoked. Call
printk_trigger_flush(PR_FLUSH_RESTART) before performing the kexec
in order to give such consoles a chance to perform an unsafe flush.
