Linus,

==========

- There is a situation when early console is not deregistered
  because the preferred one matches a wrong entry. It caused
  messages to appear twice.

  This is 2nd attempt to fix it. The first one was wrong,
  see the commit c6c7d83b9c9e6a8b3e6 ('Revert "console: don't
  prefer first registered if DT specifies stdout-path"').

  The fix is coupled with some small code clean up. Well,
  the console registration code would deserve a big one.
  We need to think about it.


- Do not lose information about the preemtive context when
  the console semaphore is re-taken.

- Do not block CPU hotplug when someone else is already
  pushing messages to the console.
