many thanks!

so we now drop messages from logbuf, not from per-CPU buffers. that
"queue printk_deferred irq_work on every online CPU when we bypass per-CPU
buffers from NMI" idea *probably* might help here - we need someone to emit
messages from the logbuf while we printk from NMI. there is still a
possibility that we can drop messages, though, since log_store() from NMI
CPU can be much-much faster than call_console_drivers() on other CPU.
