[PATCH] bcachefs: no console_lock in bch2_print_string_as_lines

[Daniel Vetter]

console_lock is the outermost subsystem lock for a lot of subsystems,
which means get/put_user must nest within. Which means it cannot be
acquired somewhere deeply nested in other locks, and most definitely
not while holding fs locks potentially needed to resolve faults.

console_trylock is the best we can do here. But John pointed out on a
previous version that this is futile:

"Using the console lock here at all is wrong. The console lock does not
prevent other CPUs from calling printk() and inserting lines in between.

"There is no way to guarantee a contiguous ringbuffer block using
multiple printk() calls.

"The console_lock usage should be removed."

Do that.
