printk() is such a beast that basically any lock taken after console_lock held like sclp_lock, port_lock, rq_lock or even indirectly like pi_lock as in below,

console_lock -> rq_lock -> pi_lock

would have a same problem where if another CPU take one of those locks in a different path and call printk() could trigger a deadlock.
