rt: printk: create bogus deferred print functions

["Luis Claudio R. Goncalves" <lgoncalv@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

While working on v5.10.180-rt I stumbled over two commits from stable that
were related to deferred printing. That broke the kernel-rt builds for
v5.10-rt. I added the workaround below to the v5.10-rt-next[1] branch that
I pushed to kernelci.

My question is whether I should use the workaround or something like
what Clark did in v5.15-rt:

    449f5e1c4ddef Revert "printk: remove deferred printing"

Which brings back all of deferred printing. I do hope, for my sanity, that
the answer is "workaround", but whatever you suggest is good for me :)

Best, Luis

    rt: printk: create bogus deferred print functions
    
    Since v5.10-rc1-rt1 we carry this change:
    
        commit 9153e3c5cb0c96242fa85ab151b9b29647634c9a
        Author: John Ogness <john.ogness@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
        Date:   Mon Oct 19 22:53:30 2020 +0206
    
            printk: remove deferred printing
    
            Since printing occurs either atomically or from the printing
            kthread, there is no need for any deferring or tracking possible
            recursion paths. Remove all printk context tracking.
    
    But with the recent v5.10.180 stable update these two commits were added:
    
        32232bcd4e530 printk: declare printk_deferred_{enter,safe}() in include/linux/printk.h
        a992c387b4118 mm/page_alloc: fix potential deadlock on zonelist_update_seq seqlock
    
    And they break the kernel-rt builds because they depend on the nonexistent
    __printk_safe_enter() and __printk_safe_exit() pair of functions.
    
    In order to work around that problem, while minimizing the code delta, make
    the two related functions, printk_deferred_enter() and printk_deferred_exit()
    into no-ops.
