[PATCH v2] MIPS: SGI-IP27: print the NMI dump on an nbcon console

[Imre Kaloz]

Since the 8250 console became nbcon, printk() in nmi_dump() only queues
records for a printer thread that never runs, as no CPU leaves the NMI
handler. Print from an emergency section and flush pending records
before the hub reset.

Fixes: d3539347022a ("serial: 8250: Switch to nbcon console, take 2")

v2: flush pending records before the hub reset (John Ogness)
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20261001155013.1694-1-kaloz@xxxxxxxxxx/

This conflicts by context with patch 14/38 of the IP35 series,
https://lore.kernel.org/all/76f2a9c32eba23de36817f0a186def01e009e1c7.1790857966.git.kaloz@xxxxxxxxxx/
which rewrites the reset write. Whichever lands second places the
printk_trigger_flush() call above the system_is_ip35 branch.
