Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
 "The big new thing is the fully lockless ringbuffer implementation,
  including the support for continuous lines. It will allow to store and
  read messages in any situation wihtout the risk of deadlocks and
  without the need of temporary per-CPU buffers.

  The access is still serialized by logbuf_lock. It synchronizes few
  more operations, for example, temporary buffer for formatting the
  message, syslog and kmsg_dump operations. The lock removal is being
  discussed and should be ready for the next release.

  The continuous lines are handled exactly the same way as before to
  avoid regressions in user space. It means that they are appended to
  the last message when the caller is the same. Only the last message
  can be extended.

  The data ring includes plain text of the messages. Except for an
  integer at the beginning of each message that points back to the
  descriptor ring with other metadata.

  The dictionary has to stay. journalctl uses it to filter the log. It
  allows to show messages related to a given device. The dictionary
  values are stored in the descriptor ring with the other metadata.

  This is the first part of the printk rework as discussed at Plumbers
  2019, see https://lore.kernel.org/r/87k1acz5rx.fsf@linutronix.de. The
  next big step will be handling consoles by kthreads during the normal
  system operation. It will require special handling of situations when
  the kthreads could not get scheduled, for example, early boot,
  suspend, panic.

  Other changes:

   - Add John Ogness as a reviewer for printk subsystem. He is author of
     the rework and is familiar with the code and history.

   - Fix locking in serial8250_do_startup() to prevent lockdep report.

   - Few code cleanups"
