commit bdd65589593edd79b6a12ce86b3b7a7c6dae5208 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.
