IMHO, it is not obvious that

		while (!__printk_cpu_trylock())		\
			__printk_wait_on_cpu_lock();	\

does nothing in the !CONFIG_SMP case. Please, make it more obvious.
I suggest to define:

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP

#define __printk_cpu_lock()				\
	do {						\
		while (!__printk_cpu_trylock())		\
			__printk_wait_on_cpu_lock();	\
	} while (0)

#else

#define __printk_cpu_lock()

#endif

/**
 * raw_printk_cpu_lock_irqsave() - Disable interrupts and acquire the printk
 *                                 cpu-reentrant spinning lock.
 * @flags: Stack-allocated storage for saving local interrupt state,
 *         to be passed to raw_printk_cpu_unlock_irqrestore().
 *
 * If the lock is owned by another CPU, spin until it becomes available.
 */
#define raw_printk_cpu_lock_irqsave(flags)	\
	do {					\
		local_irq_save(flags);		\
		__printk_cpu_lock();		\
	} while (0)
