Subject[PATCH RT] printk: Shortcut out of waiter spinning on PREEMPT_RT
From: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

As the consoles are written with preemption enabled in PREEMPT_RT, we
must not have any task spinning waiting on them. Currently, the code
that would make the task spin is #ifdef out when PREEMPT_RT is
enabled, but why go through grabbing of the locks to see if an owner is
set, when it never will be?
