console: Move userspace I/O out of console_lock to fix lockdep warning
When running certain workload on a debug kernel with lockdep turned on, a ppc64 kvm guest could sometimes hit the following lockdep warning: [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] Possible unsafe locking scenario: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- lock(&mm->mmap_sem); lock(console_lock); lock(&mm->mmap_sem); lock(cpu_hotplug.lock); *** DEADLOCK *** Looking at the console code, the console_lock-->mmap_sem scenario will only happen when reading or writing the console unicode map leading to a page fault. To break this circular locking dependency, all the userspace I/O operations in consolemap.c are now moved outside of the console_lock critical sections so that the mmap_sem won't be acquired when holding the console_lock.

* Support for multiple unimaps by Jakub Jelinek <jj@ultra.linux.cz>, July 1998
*
* Fix bug in inverse translation. Stanislav Voronyi <stas@cnti.uanet.kharkov.ua>, Dec 1998
+ *
+ * In order to prevent the following circular lock dependency:
+ * &mm->mmap_sem --> cpu_hotplug.lock --> console_lock --> &mm->mmap_sem
+ *
+ * We cannot allow page fault to happen while holding the console_lock.
+ * Therefore, all the userspace copy operations have to be done outside
+ * the console_lock critical sections.
+ *
+ * As all the affected functions are all called directly from vt_ioctl(), we
+ * can allocate some small buffers directly on stack without worrying about
+ * stack overflow.
