Subject: [PATCH v3 32/35] printk: Move locking annotation to printk.c

With Sparse support gone, Clang is a bit more strict and warns:

./include/linux/console.h:492:50: error: use of undeclared identifier 'console_mutex'
  492 | extern void console_list_unlock(void) __releases(console_mutex);

Since it does not make sense to make console_mutex itself global, move
the annotation to printk.c. Capability analysis remains disabled for
printk.c.

This is needed to enable capability analysis for modules that include
<linux/console.h>.
