[PATCH] lockdep: fix printk recursion logic

Bug reported and fixed by Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>: if lockdep is
enabled then log messages make it to /var/log/messages belatedly.  The
reason is a missed wakeup of klogd.

Initially there was only a lockdep_internal() protection against lockdep
recursion within vprintk() - it grew the 'outer' lockdep_off()/on()
protection only later on.  But that lockdep_off() made the
release_console_sem() within vprintk() always happen under the
lockdep_internal() condition, causing the bug.

The right solution to remove the inner protection against recursion here -
the outer one is enough.
