printk: Avoid scheduling irq_work on suspend

Allowing irq_work to be scheduled while trying to suspend has shown
to cause problems as some architectures interpret the pending
interrupts as a reason to not suspend. This became a problem for
printk() with the introduction of NBCON consoles. With every
printk() call, NBCON console printing kthreads are woken by queueing
irq_work. This means that irq_work continues to be queued due to
printk() calls late in the suspend procedure.

Avoid this problem by preventing printk() from queueing irq_work
once console suspending has begun. This applies to triggering NBCON
and legacy deferred printing as well as klogd waiters.

Since triggering of NBCON threaded printing relies on irq_work, the
pr_flush() within console_suspend_all() is used to perform the final
flushing before suspending consoles and blocking irq_work queueing.
NBCON consoles that are not suspended (due to the usage of the
"no_console_suspend" boot argument) transition to atomic flushing.

Introduce a new global variable @console_irqwork_blocked to flag
when irq_work queueing is to be avoided. The flag is used by
printk_get_console_flush_type() to avoid allowing deferred printing
and switch NBCON consoles to atomic flushing. It is also used by
vprintk_emit() to avoid klogd waking.

Add WARN_ON_ONCE(console_irqwork_blocked) to the irq_work queuing
functions to catch any code that attempts to queue printk irq_work
during the suspending/resuming procedure.
