printk: declare printk_deferred_{enter,safe}() in include/linux/printk.h
commit 85e3e7f upstream. [This patch implements subset of original commit 85e3e7f ("printk: remove NMI tracking") where commit 1007843 ("mm/page_alloc: fix potential deadlock on zonelist_update_seq seqlock") depends on, for commit 3d36424 ("mm/page_alloc: fix race condition between build_all_zonelists and page allocation") was backported to stable.] All NMI contexts are handled the same as the safe context: store the message and defer printing. There is no need to have special NMI context tracking for this. Using in_nmi() is enough. There are several parts of the kernel that are manually calling into the printk NMI context tracking in order to cause general printk deferred printing: arch/arm/kernel/smp.c arch/powerpc/kexec/crash.c kernel/trace/trace.c For arm/kernel/smp.c and powerpc/kexec/crash.c, provide a new function pair printk_deferred_enter/exit that explicitly achieves the same objective. For ftrace, remove the printk context manipulation completely. It was added in commit 03fc7f9 ("printk/nmi: Prevent deadlock when accessing the main log buffer in NMI"). The purpose was to enforce storing messages directly into the ring buffer even in NMI context. It really should have only modified the behavior in NMI context. There is no need for a special behavior any longer. All messages are always stored directly now. The console deferring is handled transparently in vprintk().
