Fix locking bug in "acquire_console_semaphore_for_printk()"
When I cleaned up printk() and split up the printk locking logic in commit 266c2e0abeca649fa6667a1a427ad1da507c6375 ("Make printk() console semaphore accesses sensible") I had incorrectly moved the call to have_callable_console() outside of the console semaphore. That was buggy. The console semaphore protects the console_drivers list that is used by have_callable_console(). Thanks go to Bongani Hlope who saw this as a hang on shutdown and reboot and bisected the bug to the right commit, and tested this patch.
