printk: remove separate printk_sched buffers and use printk buf instead

To prevent deadlocks with doing a printk inside the scheduler,
printk_sched() was created.  The issue is that printk has a console_sem
that it can grab and release.  The release does a wake up if there's a
task pending on the sem, and this wake up grabs the rq locks that is
held in the scheduler.  This leads to a possible deadlock if the wake up
uses the same rq as the one with the rq lock held already.

What printk_sched() does is to save the printk write in a per cpu buffer
and sets the PRINTK_PENDING_SCHED flag.  On a timer tick, if this flag is
set, the printk() is done against the buffer.

There's a couple of issues with this approach.

1) If two printk_sched()s are called before the tick, the second one
   will overwrite the first one.

2) The temporary buffer is 512 bytes and is per cpu.  This is a quite a
   bit of space wasted for something that is seldom used.

In order to remove this, the printk_sched() can use the printk buffer
instead, and delay the console_trylock()/console_unlock() to the queued
work.

Because printk_sched() would then be taking the logbuf_lock, the
logbuf_lock must not be held while doing anything that may call into the
scheduler functions, which includes wake ups.  Unfortunately, printk()
also has a console_sem that it uses, and on release, the up(&console_sem)
may do a wake up of any pending waiters.  This must be avoided while
holding the logbuf_lock.
