John Ogness 8e27473211 printk: extend console_lock for per-console locking 
Currently threaded console printers synchronize against each
other using console_lock(). However, different console drivers
are unrelated and do not require any synchronization between
each other. Removing the synchronization between the threaded
console printers will allow each console to print at its own
speed.

But the threaded consoles printers do still need to synchronize
against console_lock() callers. Introduce a per-console mutex
and a new console boolean field @blocked to provide this
synchronization.

console_lock() is modified so that it must acquire the mutex
of each console in order to set the @blocked field. Console
printing threads will acquire their mutex while printing a
record. If @blocked was set, the thread will go back to sleep
instead of printing.

The reason for the @blocked boolean field is so that
console_lock() callers do not need to acquire multiple console
mutexes simultaneously, which would introduce unnecessary
complexity due to nested mutex locking. Also, a new field
was chosen instead of adding a new @flags value so that the
blocked status could be checked without concern of reading
inconsistent values due to @flags updates from other contexts.

Threaded console printers also need to synchronize against
console_trylock() callers. Since console_trylock() may be
called from any context, the per-console mutex cannot be used
for this synchronization. (mutex_trylock() cannot be called
from atomic contexts.) Introduce a global atomic counter to
identify if any threaded printers are active. The threaded
printers will also check the atomic counter to identify if the
console has been locked by another task via console_trylock().

Note that @console_sem is still used to provide synchronization
between console_lock() and console_trylock() callers.

A locking overview for console_lock(), console_trylock(), and the
threaded printers is as follows (pseudo code):

console_lock()
{
        down(&console_sem);
        for_each_console(con) {
                mutex_lock(&con->lock);
                con->blocked = true;
                mutex_unlock(&con->lock);
        }
        /* console_lock acquired */
}

console_trylock()
{
        if (down_trylock(&console_sem) == 0) {
                if (atomic_cmpxchg(&console_kthreads_active, 0, -1) == 0) {
                        /* console_lock acquired */
                }
        }
}

threaded_printer()
{
        mutex_lock(&con->lock);
        if (!con->blocked) {
		/* console_lock() callers blocked */

                if (atomic_inc_unless_negative(&console_kthreads_active)) {
                        /* console_trylock() callers blocked */

                        con->write();

                        atomic_dec(&console_lock_count);
                }
        }
        mutex_unlock(&con->lock);
}

The console owner and waiter logic now only applies between contexts
that have taken the console_lock via console_trylock(). Threaded
printers never take the console_lock, so they do not have a
console_lock to handover. Tasks that have used console_lock() will
block the threaded printers using a mutex and if the console_lock
is handed over to an atomic context, it would be unable to unblock
the threaded printers. However, the console_trylock() case is
really the only scenario that is interesting for handovers anyway.

@panic_console_dropped must change to atomic_t since it is no longer
protected exclusively by the console_lock.

Since threaded printers remain asleep if they see that the console
is locked, they now must be explicitly woken in __console_unlock().
This means wake_up_klogd() calls following a console_unlock() are
no longer necessary and are removed.

Also note that threaded printers no longer need to check
@console_suspended. The check for the @blocked field implicitly
covers the suspended console case.
