[PATCH] printk: Ensure oops printing if console is locked

[Aurelien Gerault]

From: Aurelien Gerault <aurelien.gerault-nonst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Ensuring that oops & panic messages/backtraces will be printed
in console, even when the console is locked.

If console is locked by someone else but an oops is ongoing, force
unlocking / re-locking to display the oops.
