[PATCH printk v3 20/40] printk: __pr_flush: use srcu console list iterator

[John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de>]

Use srcu console list iteration for console list traversal.

Document why the console_lock is still necessary. Note that this
is a preparatory change for when console_lock no longer provides
synchronization for the console list.
