printk: convert @syslog_lock to mutex
@syslog_lock was a raw_spin_lock to simplify the transition of removing @logbuf_lock and the safe buffers. With that transition complete, and since all uses of @syslog_lock are within sleepable contexts, @syslog_lock can become a mutex. Note that until now register_console() would disable interrupts using irqsave, which implies that it may be called with interrupts disabled. And indeed, there is one possible call chain on parisc where this happens: handle_interruption(code=1) /* High-priority machine check (HPMC) */ pdc_console_restart() pdc_console_init_force() register_console() However, register_console() calls console_lock(), which might sleep. So it has never been allowed to call register_console() from an atomic context and the above call chain is a bug. Note that the removal of read_syslog_seq_irq() is slightly changing the behavior of SYSLOG_ACTION_READ by testing against a possibly outdated @seq value. However, the value of @seq could have changed after the test, so it is not a new window. A follow-up commit closes this window.
