[PATCH printk v3 08/40] printk: use console_is_enabled()

From: John Ogness
Date: Mon Nov 07 2022 - 09:17:26 EST


Replace (console->flags & CON_ENABLED) usage with console_is_enabled()
if it involves a data race. Otherwise add comments mentioning why the
wrapper is not used.

Note that this is a preparatory change for when console_lock no longer
provides synchronization for console->flags.
