Great catch! Thanks a lot for the report.

It gets fixed by:

--- a/kernel/printk/printk.c
+++ b/kernel/printk/printk.c
@@ -123,6 +123,7 @@ bool console_srcu_read_lock_is_held(void)
 {
 	return srcu_read_lock_held(&console_srcu);
 }
+EXPORT_SYMBOL(console_srcu_read_lock_is_held);
 #endif
 
 enum devkmsg_log_bits {


I have added this fix by ammending the problematic commit so that we
do not break bisection, see
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux.git/commit/?h=rework/console-list-lock&id=3ef5abd9b5c738bc6fa9a65e40331ef2cb03ad9c
