That's a very good question. Because if we add console_trylock()
to printk(), then we can't invoke ->atomic() consoles when console_sem
is already locked, because one of the registered drivers is currently
being modified by a 3rd party and printk(), thus, must stay away.
Once that modification will be done console_unlock() will print all
pending messages. This is current design. And this conflicts with the
whole idea of ->atomic() consoles.

So may be we need a whole new scheme in this department as well.

For instance [*and this is completely untested idea* !!!]

*May be* we can take a closer look and find cases when ->atomic
consoles don't really depend on console_sem. And *may be* we can
split the console drivers list and somehow forbid removal and
modification (ioctl) of ->atomic consoles under us. Assuming that
this is doable we then can start iterating ->atomic consoles list
with unlocked console_sem.
Non->atomic consoles or consoles which depend on console_sem (VT,
fbcon and so on) will stay in another list, and we will take
console_sem before we iterate that list and invoke those drivers.

One more time - a completely random thought.
