printk: nbcon: Introduce KDB helpers

These helpers will be used when calling console->write_atomic on
KDB code in the next patch. It's basically the same implementation
as nbcon_device_try_acquire, but using NBCON_PRIO_EMERGENCY when
acquiring the context.

If the acquire succeeds, the message and message length are assigned to
nbcon_write_context so ->write_atomic can print the message.

After release try to flush the console since there may be a backlog of
messages in the ringbuffer. The kthread console printers do not get a
chance to run while kdb is active.
