[RFC][PATCH -next 2/2] printk: set may_schedule for some of console_trylock callers

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

 console_unlock() allows to cond_resched() if its caller has
set `console_may_schedule' to 1 (this functionality present
since commit 'printk: do cond_resched() between lines while
outputting to consoles').

The rules are:
-- console_lock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 1
-- console_trylock() always sets `console_may_schedule' to 0

However, console_trylock() callers (among them is printk()) are
not necessarily executing in atomic contexts, and some of them
can cond_resched() in console_unlock(). So console_trylock()
can set `console_may_schedule' to 0 only if cond_resched() is
invalid in the current context, and set it to 1 otherwise.

The patch also drops explicit preempt_disable()/preempt_enable()
calls in vprintk_emit().
