mainlining shenanigans

Since the ringbuffer is lockless, there is no need for it to be protected by @logbuf_lock. Remove @logbuf_lock writer-protection of the ringbuffer. The reader-protection is not removed because some variables, used by readers, are using @logbuf_lock for synchronization: @syslog_seq, @syslog_time, @syslog_partial, @console_seq, struct kmsg_dumper. For PRINTK_NMI_DIRECT_CONTEXT_MASK, @logbuf_lock usage is not removed because it may be used for dumper synchronization. Without @logbuf_lock synchronization of vprintk_store() it is no longer possible to use the single static buffer for temporarily sprint'ing the message. Instead, use vsnprintf() to determine the length and perform the real vscnprintf() using the area reserved from the ringbuffer. This leads to suboptimal packing of the message data, but will result in less wasted storage than multiple per-cpu buffers to support lockless temporary sprint'ing.

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.
