Thanks!

OK... So tty_port lock must switch to printk_safe, after all...
I had it in one of the previous versions of the patchset which you
have tested, but people were strictly against new locking rules
in TTY, so I dropped that part. Need to think what we can do here.

BTW,
we are now looking at a completely new printk implementation; which
would not use printk_safe at all:
