[PATCH 4.14 81/89] printk: Hide console waiter logic into helpers

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit c162d5b4338d72deed61aa65ed0f2f4ba2bbc8ab ]

The commit ("printk: Add console owner and waiter logic to load balance
console writes") made vprintk_emit() and console_unlock() even more
complicated.

This patch extracts the new code into 3 helper functions. They should
help to keep it rather self-contained. It will be easier to use and
maintain.

This patch just shuffles the existing code. It does not change
the functionality.
