[PATCH printk v1 09/10] kdb: if available, only use atomic consoles for output mirroring

[John Ogness]

Currently kdb uses the @oops_in_progress hack to mirror kdb output
to all active consoles from NMI context. Ignoring locks is unsafe.

Now that an NMI-safe atomic interface is available for consoles,
use only that interface to mirror kdb output if such a console is
available.
