[PATCH] printk: Enhance the condition check of msleep in pr_flush()

From: Chao Qin
Date: Sun Jul 18 2021 - 22:26:50 EST


There is msleep in pr_flush(). If call WARN() in the early boot
stage such as in early_initcall, pr_flush() will run into msleep
when process scheduler is not ready yet. And then the system will
sleep forever.

Before the system_state is SYSTEM_RUNNING, make sure DO NOT sleep
in pr_flush().

Fixes: c0b395bd0fe3("printk: add pr_flush()")
