[PATCH next v3 1/2] dump_stack: move cpu lock to printk.c

[John Ogness]

dump_stack() implements its own cpu-reentrant spinning lock to
best-effort serialize stack traces in the printk log. However,
there are other functions (such as show_regs()) that can also
benefit from this serialization.

Move the cpu-reentrant spinning lock (cpu lock) into new helper
functions printk_cpu_lock_irqsave()/printk_cpu_unlock_irqrestore()
so that it is available for others as well. For !CONFIG_SMP the
cpu lock is a NOP.

Note that having multiple cpu locks in the system can easily
lead to deadlock. Code needing a cpu lock should use the
printk cpu lock, since the printk cpu lock could be acquired
from any code and any context.
