[PATCH 1/2] printk: Relocate wake_klogd check close to the end of console_unlock()

[Tejun Heo]

We mark for waking up klogd whenever we see a new message sequence in
the main loop.  However, the actual wakeup is always at the end of the
function and we can easily test for the wakeup condition when we do
the final should-we-repeat check.

Move the wake_klogd condition check out of the main loop.  This avoids
doing the same thing repeatedly and groups similar checks into a
common place.
