Subject: [PATCH printk v5 12/40] console: introduce wrappers to read/write console flags
Date:   Wed, 16 Nov 2022 17:27:24 +0106

After switching to SRCU for console list iteration, some readers
will begin readings console->flags as a data race. Locklessly
reading console->flags provides a consistent value because there
is at most one CPU modifying console->flags and that CPU is
using only read-modify-write operations.

Introduce a wrapper for SRCU iterators to read console flags.
Introduce a matching wrapper to write to flags of registered
consoles. Writing to flags of registered consoles is synchronized
by the console_list_lock.
