Thanks. I can send the cherrypicks your way. Do you recommend that I
include the three follow-up fixes though?

c14376de3a1b printk: Wake klogd when passing console_lock owner
fd5f7cde1b85 printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock()
c162d5b4338d printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers
dbdda842fe96 printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load
balance console writes
