Petr Mladek 719f6a7040 printk: Use the main logbuf in NMI when logbuf_lock is available 
The commit 42a0bb3f71 ("printk/nmi: generic solution for safe
printk in NMI") caused that printk stores messages into a temporary
buffer in NMI context.

The buffer is per-CPU and therefore the size is rather limited.
It works quite well for NMI backtraces. But there are longer logs
that might get printed in NMI context, for example, lockdep
warnings, ftrace_dump_on_oops.

The temporary buffer is used to avoid deadlocks caused by
logbuf_lock. Also it is needed to avoid races with the other
temporary buffer that is used when PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT is entered.
But the main buffer can be used in NMI if the lock is available
and we did not interrupt PRINTK_SAFE_CONTEXT.

The lock is checked using raw_spin_is_locked(). It might cause
false negatives when the lock is taken on another CPU and
this CPU is in the safe context from other reasons. Note that
the safe context is used also to get console semaphore or when
calling console drivers. For this reason, we do the check in
printk_nmi_enter(). It makes the handling consistent for
the entire NMI handler and avoids reshuffling of the messages.

The patch also defines special printk context that allows
to use printk_deferred() in NMI. Note that we could not flush
the messages to the consoles because console drivers might use
many other internal locks.

The newly created vprintk_deferred() disables the preemption
only around the irq work handling. It is needed there to keep
the consistency between the two per-CPU variables. But there
is no reason to disable preemption around vprintk_emit().

Finally, the patch puts back explicit serialization of the NMI
backtraces from different CPUs. It was removed by the
commit a9edc88093 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe
NMI stack trace on all CPUs"). It was not needed because
the flushing of the temporary per-CPU buffers was serialized.
