printk: Add function to replay kernel log on consoles

Add a generic function console_replay_all() for replaying
the kernel log on consoles, in any context. It would allow
viewing the logs on an unresponsive terminal via sysrq.

Reuse the existing code from console_flush_on_panic() for
resetting the sequence numbers, by introducing a new helper
function __console_rewind_all(). It is safe to be called
under console_lock().

Try to acquire lock on the console subsystem without waiting.
If successful, reset the sequence number to oldest available
record on all consoles and call console_unlock() which will
automatically flush the messages to the consoles.
