3.5.7.17 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: "Bu, Yitian" <ybu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit dbda92d16f8655044e082930e4e9d244b87fde77 upstream.
commit 07354eb1a74d1 ("locking printk: Annotate logbuf_lock as raw")
reintroduced a lock inversion problem which was fixed in commit
0b5e1c5255 ("printk: Release console_sem after logbuf_lock"). This
happened probably when fixing up patch rejects.
Restore the ordering and unlock logbuf_lock before releasing
console_sem.
