I don't see you coming forward with a solution beyond "let's revert
the commit" or "let's comment out the lock" - neither of which are
an option for mainline kernels.

Until *you* do, since you obviously have better ideas, "we have no
real option".

But, as I've said, one of the *important* characteristics of serial
console is that it is synchronous with the kernel, so it can be
relied upon to get complete messages out if the kernel crashes after
a printk() has been executed, and that must not be lost.
