[PATCH] lockdep: fix printk recursion logic
Bug reported and fixed by Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>: if lockdep is enabled then log messages make it to /var/log/messages belatedly. The reason is a missed wakeup of klogd. Initially there was only a lockdep_internal() protection against lockdep recursion within vprintk() - it grew the 'outer' lockdep_off()/on() protection only later on. But that lockdep_off() made the release_console_sem() within vprintk() always happen under the lockdep_internal() condition, causing the bug. The right solution to remove the inner protection against recursion here - the outer one is enough.
