Subject: [RFC][PATCH 3/4] kernel, power: disable printk_kthread in unsafe places

It's not always possible/safe to wake_up() printk kernel
thread. For example, late suspend/early resume may printk()
while timekeeping is not initialized yet, so calling into the
scheduler may result in recursive warnings. Thus we need
printk() to operate in old mode there and attempt to immediately
flush pending kernel message to the console. This patch adds
console_printing_thread_off/on sections.
