[GIT PULL] printk for 4.11

[Petr Mladek <pmladek@suse.com>]

Linus,

please pull from

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk.git for-linus

to receive printk queue for 4.11 merge window:

==========

- Add Petr Mladek, Sergey Senozhatsky as printk maintainers,
  and Steven Rostedt as the printk reviewer. This idea came up
  after the discussion about printk issues at Kernel Summit.
  It was formulated and discussed at lkml[1].


- Extend a lock-less NMI per-cpu buffers idea to handle recursive
  printk() calls by Sergey Senozhatsky[2]. It is the first step
  in sanitizing printk as discussed at Kernel Summit.

  The change allows to see messages that would normally get ignored
  or would cause a deadlock.

  Also it allows to enable lockdep in printk(). This already paid
  off. The testing in linux-next helped to discover two old
  problems that were hidden before[3][4].


- Remove unused parameter by Sergey Senozhatsky. Clean up
  after a past change.
