I think that this "BUG" is a false positive. 

In do_con_write(), Just before the call of console_lock() there is an 
in_interrupt() check that, if it evaluates to true, makes this function to 
return "count" and prevents the SAC bug.

Therefore, if I'm not missing something, the sleeping code is never executed.

If someone wants to check it and, if they find out that I'm not wrong, please 
also tell Syzbot to close this issue (I don't know which command to send).
