This is v5 of a series to prepare for threaded/atomic

scope of the BKL console_lock. It achieves this by switching to
SRCU and a dedicated mutex for console list iteration and
modification, respectively. The console_lock will no longer
offer this protection.
The patchset looks ready for linux-next from my POV.
I am going to push it there right now to get as much testing
as possible before the merge window.
JFYI, the patchset is committed in printk/linux.git,
branch rework/console-list-lock.
I'll eventually merge it into rework/kthreads. But I wanted to have
it separated until it gets some more testing in linux-next and
eventually some more review.
