printk: use printk_safe buffers in printk

Use printk_safe per-CPU buffers in printk recursion-prone blocks:
-- around logbuf_lock protected sections in vprintk_emit() and
   console_unlock()
-- around down_trylock_console_sem() and up_console_sem()

Note that this solution addresses deadlocks caused by printk()
recursive calls only. That is vprintk_emit() and console_unlock().
The rest will be converted in a followup patch.

Another thing to note is that we now keep lockdep enabled in printk,
because we are protected against the printk recursion caused by
lockdep in vprintk_emit() by the printk-safe mechanism - we first
switch to per-CPU buffers and only then access the deadlock-prone
locks.

Examples:

1) printk() from logbuf_lock spin_lock section

Assume the following code:
  printk()
    raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock);
    WARN_ON(1);
    raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock);

which now produces:

 ------------[ cut here ]------------

   vprintk_default+0x1d/0x1f
   printk+0x48/0x50
  [..]

2) printk() from semaphore sem->lock spin_lock section

Assume the following code

  printk()
    console_trylock()
      down_trylock()
        raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&sem->lock, flags);
        WARN_ON(1);
        raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&sem->lock, flags);

which now produces:

   vprintk_default+0x1d/0x1f
   printk+0x48/0x50
  [..]

3) printk() from console_unlock()

Assume the following code:

  printk()
    console_unlock()
      raw_spin_lock(&logbuf_lock);
      WARN_ON(1);
      raw_spin_unlock(&logbuf_lock);

which now produces:

   vprintk_default+0x18/0x1a
   printk+0x43/0x4b
  [..]

4) printk() from try_to_wake_up()

Assume the following code:

  printk()
    console_unlock()
      up()
        try_to_wake_up()
          raw_spin_lock_irqsave(&p->pi_lock, flags);
          WARN_ON(1);
          raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore(&p->pi_lock, flags);

which now produces:

   vprintk_default+0x1d/0x1f
   printk+0x48/0x50
  [..]

5) printk() from call_console_drivers()

Assume the following code:
  printk()
    console_unlock()
      call_console_drivers()
      ...
          WARN_ON(1);

which now produces:

 ------------[ cut here ]------------

   vprintk_func+0x6e/0x70
   printk+0x3e/0x46
  [..]

6) unsupported placeholder in printk() format now prints an actual
   warning from vscnprintf(), instead of
   	'BUG: recent printk recursion!'.
