[PATCH -next v2 03/12] pstore: Remove needless lock during console writes

From: Kees Cook
Date: Thu Nov 29 2018 - 18:08:58 EST


Since the console writer does not use the preallocated crash dump buffer
any more, there is no reason to perform locking around it.

Fixes: 70ad35db3321 ("pstore: Convert console write to use ->write_buf")
