Nice catch. Thanks.

5.15-rt also has this issue, although the fix is slightly different. For
5.15-rt, writing to con->printk_seq (via latched_seq_write()) requires
the console locked. Would you like to post a patch for 5.15-rt as well,
or would you like me to do it?

5.16 and beyond does not have this issue.
