[RFC][PATCHv3 1/5] printk: move printk_pending out of per-cpu

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Tue May 09 2017 - 04:30:09 EST


Do not keep `printk_pending' in per-CPU area. We set the following bits
of printk_pending:
a) PRINTK_PENDING_WAKEUP
when we need to wakeup klogd
b) PRINTK_PENDING_OUTPUT
when there is a pending output from deferred printk and we need
to call console_unlock().

So none of the bits control/represent a state of a particular CPU and,
basically, they should be global instead.

Besides we will use `printk_pending' to control printk kthread, so this
patch is also a preparation work.
