[PATCH printk-rework 14/14] printk: console: remove unnecessary safe buffer usage
From: John Ogness
Date: Thu Feb 18 2021 - 05:06:03 EST
Upon registering a console, safe buffers are activated when setting
up the sequence number to replay the log. However, these are already
protected by @console_sem and @syslog_lock. Remove the unnecessary
safe buffer usage.
