To make it clear. Please, make sure that the following commits are
backported together:

+ dbdda842fe96f8932ba ("printk: Add console owner and waiter
		logic to load balance console writes")
+ c162d5b4338d72deed6 ("printk: Hide console waiter logic into
		helpers")
+ fd5f7cde1b85d4c8e09 ("printk: Never set console_may_schedule
		in console_trylock()")
+ c14376de3a1befa70d9 ("printk: Wake klogd when passing
		console_lock owner")


I generated this list from git log using "Fixes:" tag. It seems
to mention all commits dicussed above.

All 4 queued for 4.14, thank you.
