      Revert "printk: fix double printing with earlycon" · dac8bbba

      This reverts commit cf39bf58.
      
      The commit regression to users that define both console=ttyS1
      and console=ttyS0 on the command line, see
      https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170509082915.GA13236@bistromath.localdomain
      
      The kernel log messages always appeared only on one serial port. It is
      even documented in Documentation/admin-guide/serial-console.rst:
      
      "Note that you can only define one console per device type (serial,
      video)."
      
      The above mentioned commit changed the order in which the command line
      parameters are searched. As a result, the kernel log messages go to
      the last mentioned ttyS* instead of the first one.
      
      We long thought that using two console=ttyS* on the command line
      did not make sense. But then we realized that console= parameters
      were handled also by systemd, see
      http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html
      
      "By default systemd will instantiate one serial-getty@.service on
      the main kernel console, if it is not a virtual terminal."
      
      where
      
      "[4] If multiple kernel consoles are used simultaneously, the main
      console is the one listed first in /sys/class/tty/console/active,
      which is the last one listed on the kernel command line."
      
      This puts the original report into another light. The system is running
      in qemu. The first serial port is used to store the messages into a file.
      The second one is used to login to the system via a socket. It depends
      on systemd and the historic kernel behavior.
      
      By other words, systemd causes that it makes sense to define both
      console=ttyS1 console=ttyS0 on the command line. The kernel fix
      caused regression related to userspace (systemd) and need to be
      reverted.
      
      In addition, it went out that the fix helped only partially.
      The messages still were duplicated when the boot console was
      removed early by late_initcall(printk_late_init). Then the entire
      log was replayed when the same console was registered as a normal one.

      Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
      
       - There is a situation when early console is not deregistered because
         the preferred one matches a wrong entry. It caused messages to appear
         twice.
      
         This is the 2nd attempt to fix it. The first one was wrong, see the
         commit c6c7d83b ('Revert "console: don't prefer first registered
         if DT specifies stdout-path"').
      
         The fix is coupled with some small code clean up. Well, the console
         registration code would deserve a big one. We need to think about it.
      
       - Do not lose information about the preemtive context when the console
         semaphore is re-taken.
      
       - Do not block CPU hotplug when someone else is already pushing
         messages to the console.
