From c0ee407b7db3b7ac5c24337a9d365a35450c233b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: John Ogness <john.ogness@linutronix.de>
Date: Mon, 30 Nov 2020 01:42:00 +0106
Subject: [PATCH 097/323] printk: remove safe buffers
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/5.10/older/patches-5.10.204-rt100.tar.xz

With @logbuf_lock removed, the high level printk functions for
storing messages are lockless. Messages can be stored from any
context, so there is no need for the NMI and safe buffers anymore.

Remove the NMI and safe buffers. In NMI or safe contexts, store
the message immediately but still use irq_work to defer the console
printing.
