Sergey Senozhatsky 3ac37a93fa printk: lock/unlock console only for new logbuf entries 
Prior to commit 5c2992ee7f ("printk: remove console flushing special
cases for partial buffered lines") we would do console_cont_flush()
for each pr_cont() to print cont fragments, so console_unlock() would
actually print data:

	pr_cont();
	 console_lock();
	 console_unlock()
	  console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment
	...
	pr_cont();
	 console_lock();
	 console_unlock()
	  console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment

We don't do console_cont_flush() anymore, so when we do pr_cont()
console_unlock() does nothing (unless we flushed the cont buffer):

	pr_cont();
	 console_lock();
	 console_unlock();      // noop
	...
	pr_cont();
	 console_lock();
	 console_unlock();      // noop
	...
	pr_cont();
	  cont_flush();
	    console_lock();
	    console_unlock();   // print data

We also wakeup klogd purposelessly for pr_cont() output - un-flushed
cont buffer is not stored in log_buf; there is nothing to pull.

Thus we can console_lock()/console_unlock()/wake_up_klogd() only when
we know that we log_store()-ed a message and there is something to
print to the consoles/syslog.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
