Subject: [PATCH 22/46] printk: Avoid console_lock dance if no legacy or boot
consoles
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.9/older/patches-6.9-rt5.tar.xz
Currently the console lock is used to attempt legacy-type
printing even if there are no legacy or boot consoles registered.
If no such consoles are registered, the console lock does not
need to be taken.
Add tracking of legacy console registration and use it with
boot console tracking to avoid unnecessary code paths, i.e.
do not use the console lock if there are no boot consoles
and no legacy consoles.
