unfortunately disabling preemtion in console_unlock() is a bit
dangerous :( we have paths that call console_unlock() exactly
to flush everything (not only new pending messages, but everything)
that is in logbuf and we cannot return from console_unlock()
preliminary in that case.

overall that's very close to what I have in one of my private branches.
console_trylock_spinning() for some reason does not perform really
well on my made-up internal printk torture tests. it seems that I
have a much better stability (no lockups and so on) when I also let
printk_kthread to sleep on console_sem(). but I will look further.
