Prior to commit 5c2992ee7f ("printk: remove console flushing special
cases for partial buffered lines") we would do console_cont_flush()
for each pr_cont() to print cont fragments, so console_unlock() would
actually print data:
pr_cont();
console_lock();
console_unlock()
console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment
...
pr_cont();
console_lock();
console_unlock()
console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment
We don't do console_cont_flush() anymore, so when we do pr_cont()
console_unlock() does nothing (unless we flushed the cont buffer):
pr_cont();
console_lock();
console_unlock(); // noop
...
pr_cont();
console_lock();
console_unlock(); // noop
...
pr_cont();
cont_flush();
console_lock();
console_unlock(); // print data
We also wakeup klogd purposelessly for pr_cont() output - un-flushed
cont buffer is not stored in log_buf; there is nothing to pull.
Thus we can console_lock()/console_unlock()/wake_up_klogd() only when
we know that we log_store()-ed a message and there is something to
print to the consoles/syslog.
