Subject: [PATCH printk v3 05/15] printk: wake waiters for safe and NMI contexts

When printk() is called from safe or NMI contexts, it will directly
store the record (vprintk_store()) and then defer the console output.
However, defer_console_output() only causes console printing and does
not wake any waiters of new records.

Wake waiters from defer_console_output() so that they also are aware
of the new records from safe and NMI contexts.

Fixes: 03fc7f9c99c1 ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMI")
