printk: Never set console_may_schedule in console_trylock()
This patch, basically, reverts commit6b97a20d3a
("printk: set may_schedule for some of console_trylock() callers"). That commit was a mistake, it introduced a big dependency on the scheduler, by enabling preemption under console_sem in printk()->console_unlock() path, which is rather too critical. The patch did not significantly reduce the possibilities of printk() lockups, but made it possible to stall printk(), as has been reported by Tetsuo Handa [1]. Another issues is that preemption under console_sem also messes up with Steven Rostedt's hand off scheme, by making it possible to sleep with console_sem both in console_unlock() and in vprintk_emit(), after acquiring the console_sem ownership (anywhere between printk_safe_exit_irqrestore() in console_trylock_spinning() and printk_safe_enter_irqsave() in console_unlock()). This makes hand off less likely and, at the same time, may result in a significant amount of pending logbuf messages. Preempted console_sem owner makes it impossible for other CPUs to emit logbuf messages, but does not make it impossible for other CPUs to append new messages to the logbuf. Reinstate the old behavior and make printk() non-preemptible. Should any printk() lockup reports arrive they must be handled in a different way.
