[PATCH RFC 1/2] printk: add per-console replay helper

[Sam Crossley]

console_try_replay_all() rewinds every registered console, which is too
broad for a caller that needs to resend records through one console.

Add console_try_replay() for that, sharing the locking and flush logic so
existing callers are unaffected. A NULL console is rejected, since the
shared helper reads it as "every console".

Like the existing all-console operation this is best effort: it does
nothing if the console lock cannot be acquired immediately. That lock is
global, so unrelated console activity can cause a replay to be skipped.
Records have not necessarily been printed by the time it returns either --
consoles served by a printer thread are only woken here.
