Nice catch. But I think the below patch is the appropriate fix:

John Ogness

-------8<--------
Subject: [PATCH] printk: Update @console_may_schedule in
 console_trylock_spinning()

console_trylock_spinning() may takeover the console lock from a
scheduable context. Update @console_may_schedule to make sure it
reflects a trylock acquire.
