hmmm... it takes an atomic/spin `printing_lock' lock in vt_console_print(),
then call console_conditional_schedule() from lf(), being under spin_lock.
`console_may_schedule' in console_conditional_schedule() still keeps the
value from console_trylock(), which was ok (console_may_schedule permits
rescheduling). but preemption got changed under console_trylock(), by
that spin_lock.

console_trylock() used to always forbid rescheduling; but it got changed
like a yaer ago.

the other thing is... do we really need to console_conditional_schedule()
from fbcon_*()? console_unlock() does cond_resched() after every line it
prints. wouldn't that be enough?

so may be we can drop some of console_conditional_schedule()
call sites in fbcon. or update console_conditional_schedule()
function to always return the current preemption value, not the
one we saw in console_trylock().

(not tested)
