<shrug>. I guess this is OK, but it feels a little pointless. If we're
still directly looking at the CON_BOOT bit in con->flags it seems
weird to be accessing CON_ENABLED through a special wrapper that's
marked as a `data_race`. In our case it's _not_ a data race, right,
since this function continues to hold the console_lock() even at the
end of the series? I personally would drop this patch but if you
really want it I won't object.
