printk: Keep non-panic-CPUs out of console lock 

When in a panic situation, non-panic CPUs should avoid holding the
console lock so as not to contend with the panic CPU. This is already
implemented with abandon_console_lock_in_panic(), which is checked
after each printed line. However, non-panic CPUs should also avoid
trying to acquire the console lock during a panic.

Modify console_trylock() to fail and console_lock() to block() when
called from a non-panic CPU during a panic.
