printk: Coordinate direct printing in panic

Browse Source 
If legacy and nbcon consoles are registered and the nbcon
consoles are allowed to flush (i.e. no boot consoles
registered), the legacy consoles will no longer perform
direct printing on the panic CPU until after the backtrace
has been stored. This will give the safe nbcon consoles a
chance to print the panic messages before allowing the
unsafe legacy consoles to print.

If no nbcon consoles are registered or they are not allowed
to flush because boot consoles are registered, there is no
change in behavior (i.e. legacy consoles will always attempt
to print from the printk() caller context).
