Subject: [RFC PATCH 64/86] treewide: printk: remove cond_resched()
The printk code goes to great lengths to ensure that there are no
scheduling stalls which would cause softlockup/RCU splats and make
things worse.
With PREEMPT_COUNT=y and PREEMPTION=y, this should be a non-issue as
the scheduler can determine when this logic can be preempted.
So, remove cond_resched() and related code.
