[PATCH RT 2/2][RFC] let RCU stall messages escape with CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT_FULL

[Frank Rowand]

The printk()s in RCU stall warnings do not get flushed to the console
on ARM.  Add the oops_in_progress flag back into the special trylock case in
console_trylock_for_printk(), and set the flag using "bust_spinlocks(1)".
This allows the printk() output to be flushed to the console.
