Subject: [PATCH 37/50] printk: nbcon: Introduce printing kthreads
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.7/older/patches-6.7-rt6.tar.xz

Provide the main implementation for running a printer kthread
per nbcon console that is takeover/handover aware.

The main print function nbcon_emit_next_record() will generate
a warning if a task other than the dedicated printer thread
tries to print using write_thread().
