Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Prevent possible deadlocks, caused by the lock serializing per-CPU
   backtraces, by entering the deferred printk context

 - Enforce the right casting in LOG_BUF_LEN_MAX definition

* tag 'printk-for-6.14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux:
  printk: Defer legacy printing when holding printk_cpu_sync
  printk: Remove redundant deferred check in vprintk()
  printk: Fix signed integer overflow when defining LOG_BUF_LEN_MAX
