The printk()s in RCU stall warnings do not get flushed to the console
on ARM.  Add the oops_in_progress flag back into the special trylock case in
console_trylock_for_printk(), and set the flag using "bust_spinlocks(1)".
This allows the printk() output to be flushed to the console.

Is bust_spinlocks(1) appropriate for all architectures, or should this
be conditioned on architectures that need oops_in_progress to be set?

Good question.  I don't know if the architectures that do not set
oops_in_progress do not need it, or if they just overlooked it.
I'll have to look a little bit deeper.
