Subject: [PATCH printk v5 11/30] nbcon: Provide functions for drivers to acquire console for non-printing

Provide functions nbcon_driver_try_acquire() and
nbcon_driver_release() to allow drivers to acquire the nbcon
console and mark it unsafe for handover/takeover.

These functions are to be used by nbcon drivers when performing
non-printing activities that should be synchronized with their
atomic_write() callback.
