Marcos Paulo de Souza 62627bf0ca kdb: Adapt kdb_msg_write to work with NBCON consoles
Function kdb_msg_write was calling con->write for any found console,
but it won't work on NBCON consoles. In this case we should acquire the
ownership of the console using NBCON_PRIO_EMERGENCY, since printing
kdb messages should only be interrupted by a panic.

At this point, the console is required to use the atomic callback. The
console is skipped if the write_atomic callback is not set or if the
context could not be acquired. The validation of NBCON is done by the
console_is_usable helper. The context is released right after
write_atomic finishes.

The oops_in_progress handling is only needed in the legacy consoles,
so it was moved around the con->write callback.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
