[PATCH printk v6 29/30] rcu: Mark emergency sections in rcu stalls

[John Ogness]

Mark emergency sections wherever multiple lines of
rcu stall information are generated. In an emergency
section the CPU will not perform console output for the
printk() calls. Instead, a flushing of the console
output is triggered when exiting the emergency section.
This allows the full message block to be stored as
quickly as possible in the ringbuffer.
