printk: remove safe buffers
With @logbuf_lock removed, the high level printk functions for storing messages are lockless. Messages can be stored from any context, so there is no need for the NMI and safe buffers anymore. Remove the NMI and safe buffers. Although the safe buffers are removed, the NMI and safe context tracking is still in place. In these contexts, store the message immediately but still use irq_work to defer the console printing. Since printk recursion tracking is in place, safe context tracking for most of printk is not needed. Remove it. Only safe context tracking relating to the console and console_owner locks is left in place. This is because the console and console_owner locks are needed for the actual printing.
