printk: Add non-BKL (nbcon) console basic infrastructure
The current console/printk subsystem is protected by a Big Kernel Lock, (aka console_lock) which has ill defined semantics and is more or less stateless. This puts severe limitations on the console subsystem and makes forced takeover and output in emergency and panic situations a fragile endeavour that is based on try and pray. The goal of non-BKL (nbcon) consoles is to break out of the console lock jail and to provide a new infrastructure that avoids the pitfalls and also allows console drivers to be gradually converted over. The proposed infrastructure aims for the following properties: - Per console locking instead of global locking - Per console state that allows to make informed decisions - Stateful handover and takeover As a first step, state is added to struct console. The per console state is an atomic_t using a 32bit bit field. Reserve state bits, which will be populated later in the series. Wire it up into the console register/unregister functionality. It was decided to use a bitfield because using a plain u32 with mask/shift operations resulted in uncomprehensible code.
