printk: nbcon: Rely on kthreads for normal operation

printk: nbcon: Rely on kthreads for normal operation

Once the kthread is running and available
(i.e. @printk_kthreads_running is set), the kthread becomes
responsible for flushing any pending messages which are added
in NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL context. Namely the legacy
console_flush_all() and device_release() no longer flush the
console. And nbcon_atomic_flush_pending() used by
nbcon_cpu_emergency_exit() no longer flushes messages added
after the emergency messages.

The console context is safe when used by the kthread only when
one of the following conditions are true:

  1. Other caller acquires the console context with
     NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL with preemption disabled. It will
     release the context before rescheduling.

  2. Other caller acquires the console context with
     NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL under the device_lock.

  3. The kthread is the only context which acquires the console
     with NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL.

This is satisfied for all atomic printing call sites:

nbcon_legacy_emit_next_record() (#1)

nbcon_atomic_flush_pending_con() (#1)

nbcon_device_release() (#2)

It is even double guaranteed when @printk_kthreads_running
is set because then _only_ the kthread will print for
NBCON_PRIO_NORMAL. (#3)
