Subject: [RFC][PATCHv2 5/7] printk: use alternative printk buffers

Use alt_printk buffer in in printk recursion-prone blocks:
-- around logbuf_lock protected sections in vprintk_emit() and
   console_unlock()
-- around down_trylock_console_sem() and up_console_sem()

Note that this solution addresses deadlocks caused by printk()
recursive calls only.

Examples:

1) printk() from logbuf_lock spin_lock section

Assume the following code:
  printk()
    raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock);
    WARN_ON(1);
    raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock);

which now produces:

 ------------[ cut here ]------------

  [..]
  [<ffffffff813caaaa>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x18/0xad
 ---[ end trace ]---

2) printk() from semaphore sem->lock spin_lock section

Assume the following code

  printk()
    console_trylock()
      down_trylock()
        raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags);
        WARN_ON(1);
        raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags);

which now produces:

  [..]
  [<ffffffff813caaaa>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x18/0xad
 ---[ end trace ]---

3) printk() from console_unlock()

Assume the following code:

  printk()
    console_unlock()
      raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock);
      WARN_ON(1);
      raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock);

which now produces:

  [..]
  [<ffffffff814c2d6a>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x18/0xad
 ---[ end trace ]---

4) printk() from try_to_wake_up()

Assume the following code:

  printk()
    console_unlock()
      up()
        try_to_wake_up()
          raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&p->pi_lock, flags);
          WARN_ON(1);
          raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&p->pi_lock, flags);

which now produces:
