Taking over the console involves allocating mem with GFP_KERNEL, talking to drm drivers, etc. So this should not be done from an atomic context. But the console-output trigger deferred console takeover may happen from an atomic context, which leads to "BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context" errors. This commit fixes these errors by doing the deferred takeover from a workqueue when the notifier runs from an atomic context.
