Subject: [PATCH printk v2 0/4] fix console flushing on panic

Hi,

While testing various panic scenarios using legacy consoles, I
stumbled on a couple issues that cause the panic backtrace not
to be printed:

1. In panic, an unfinalized record blocks printing of finalized
   records that may follow.

2. It is possible (and easy to reproduce) a scenario where the
   console on the panic CPU hands over to a waiter of a stopped
   CPU.

This series addresses these 2 issues while also performing some
minor cleanups to remove open coded checks about the panic
context.

Because of multiple refactoring done in recent history, it
would be helpful to provide the LTS maintainers with the proper
backported patches. I am happy to do this.
