printk: release lockbuf_lock before calling console_trylock_for_printk()
There's no reason to hold lockbuf_lock when entering
console_trylock_for_printk().
The first thing this function does is to call down_trylock(console_sem)
and if that fails it immediately unlocks lockbuf_lock. So lockbuf_lock
isn't needed for that branch. When down_trylock() succeeds, the rest of
console_trylock() is OK without lockbuf_lock (it is called without it
from other places), and the only remaining thing in
console_trylock_for_printk() is can_use_console() call. For that call
console_sem is enough (it iterates all consoles and checks CON_ANYTIME
flag).
So we drop logbuf_lock before entering console_trylock_for_printk() which
simplifies the code.
