[S390] console flush on panic / reboot
The s390 console drivers use the unblank callback of the console structure to flush the console buffer. In case of a panic or a reboot the CPU doing the callback can block on the console i/o. The other CPUs in the system continue to work. For panic this is not a good idea. Replace the unblank callback with proper panic/reboot notifier. These get called after all but one CPU have been stopped. Signed-off-by: Holger Smolinski <Holger.Smolinski@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
