[PATCH v5 0/2] printk: Console owner and waiter logic cleanup

This is the last version of Steven's console owner/waiter logic.
Plus my proposal to hide it into 3 helper functions. It is supposed
to keep the code maintenable.

The handshake really works. It happens about 10-times even during
boot of a simple system in qemu with a fast console here. It is
definitely able to avoid some softlockups. Let's see if it is
enough in practice.

>From my point of view, it is ready to go into linux-next so that
it can get some more test coverage.

Steven's patch is the v4, see
