Thomas Gleixner dc3d380f6e x86/i8259: Use printk_deferred() to prevent deadlock
commit bdd6558959 upstream.

0day reported a possible circular locking dependency:

Chain exists of:
  &irq_desc_lock_class --> console_owner --> &port_lock_key

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&port_lock_key);
                               lock(console_owner);
                               lock(&port_lock_key);
  lock(&irq_desc_lock_class);

The reason for this is a printk() in the i8259 interrupt chip driver
which is invoked with the irq descriptor lock held, which reverses the
lock operations vs. printk() from arbitrary contexts.

Switch the printk() to printk_deferred() to avoid that.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
