  Thanks for report. Attached patch should fix the problem I hope.

Subject: [PATCH] printk: Fix lockdep instrumentation of console_sem

Printk calls mutex_acquire() / mutex_release() by hand to instrument
lockdep about console_sem. However in some corner cases the
instrumentation is missing. Fix the problem by creating helper functions
for locking / unlocking console_sem which take care of lockdep
instrumentation as well.
