printk: make printk more robust by not allowing recursion

Browse source

make printk more robust by allowing recursion only if there's a crash
going on. Also add recursion detection.

I've tested it with an artificially injected printk recursion - instead
of a lockup or spontaneous reboot or other crash, the output was a well
controlled:

[   41.057335] SysRq : <2>BUG: recent printk recursion!
[   41.057335] loglevel0-8 reBoot Crashdump show-all-locks(D) tErm Full kIll saK showMem Nice powerOff showPc show-all-timers(Q) unRaw Sync showTasks Unmount shoW-blocked-tasks

also do all this printk-debug logic with irqs disabled.
