[PATCH next v1 2/2] nmi_backtrace: use the printk cpu lock for show_regs()

From: John Ogness
Date: Mon May 31 2021 - 13:29:54 EST


dump_stack() uses the printk cpu lock to synchronize the stacktrace,
but this can also be used for dumping the banner and regs.

Since the cpu lock allows recursive locking, it is not an issue to
call dump_stack() with the printk cpu lock held.
