John Ogness 2ba3673d70 printk: use atomic updates for klogd work
The per-cpu @printk_pending variable can be updated from
sleepable contexts, such as:

  get_random_bytes()
    warn_unseeded_randomness()
      printk_deferred()
        defer_console_output()

and can be updated from interrupt contexts, such as:

  handle_irq_event_percpu()
    __irq_wake_thread()
      wake_up_process()
        try_to_wake_up()
          select_task_rq()
            select_fallback_rq()
              printk_deferred()
                defer_console_output()

and can be updated from NMI contexts, such as:

  vprintk()
    if (in_nmi()) defer_console_output()

Therefore the atomic variant of the updating functions must be used.

Replace __this_cpu_xchg() with this_cpu_xchg().
Replace __this_cpu_or() with this_cpu_or().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
