printk: nbcon: Add ownership state functions
Provide functions that are related to the safe handover mechanism
and allow console drivers to dynamically specify unsafe regions:
- nbcon_context_can_proceed()
Invoked by a console owner to check whether a handover request
is pending or whether the console has been taken over by another
context. If a handover request is pending, this function will
also perform the handover, thus cancelling its own ownership.
- nbcon_context_enter_unsafe()/nbcon_context_exit_unsafe()
Invoked by a console owner to denote that the driver is about
to enter or leave a critical region where a take over is unsafe.
The exit variant is the point where the current owner releases
the lock for a higher priority context which asked for the
friendly handover.
The unsafe state is stored in the console state and allows a
new context to make informed decisions whether to attempt a
takeover of such a console. The unsafe state is also available
to the driver so that it can make informed decisions about the
required actions and possibly take a special emergency path.
