printk: flush consoles before checking progress

Browse source

Commit 9e70a5e109 ("printk: Add per-console suspended state")
removed console lock usage during resume and replaced it with
the clearly defined console_list_lock and srcu mechanisms.

However, the console lock usage had an important side-effect
of flushing the consoles. After its removal, consoles were no
longer flushed before checking their progress.

Add the console_lock/console_unlock dance to the beginning
of __pr_flush() to actually flush the consoles before checking
their progress. Also add comments to clarify this additional
usage of the console lock.

Note that console_unlock() does not guarantee flushing all messages
since the commit dbdda842fe ("printk: Add console owner and waiter
logic to load balance console writes").
