Merge tag 'printk-for-5.19-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux

Pull printk kernel thread revert from Petr Mladek:
 "Revert printk console kthreads.

  The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed issues that did not
  happen when all consoles were serialized using the console semaphore.

  More time is needed to check expectations of the existing console
  drivers and be confident that they can be safely used in parallel"

* tag 'printk-for-5.19-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/printk/linux:
  Revert "printk: add functions to prefer direct printing"
  Revert "printk: add kthread console printers"
  Revert "printk: extend console_lock for per-console locking"
  Revert "printk: remove @console_locked"
  Revert "printk: Block console kthreads when direct printing will be required"
  Revert "printk: Wait for the global console lock when the system is going down"
