5.10.56-rt49-rc1 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Chao Qin <chao.qin@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 83e9288d9c4295d1195e9d780fcbc42c72ba4a83 ]

There is msleep in pr_flush(). If call WARN() in the early boot
stage such as in early_initcall, pr_flush() will run into msleep
when process scheduler is not ready yet. And then the system will
sleep forever.

Before the system_state is SYSTEM_RUNNING, make sure DO NOT sleep
in pr_flush().

Fixes: c0b395bd0fe3("printk: add pr_flush()")
