There is msleep in pr_flush(). If call WARN() in the early boot
stage such as in early_initcall, pr_flush() will run into msleep
when process scheduler is not ready yet. And then the system will
sleep forever.

Before the system_state is SYSTEM_RUNNING, make sure DO NOT sleep
in pr_flush().
Makes sense, thanks.

trivial style note:

Logic continuations are typically at the end of the previous line.
And there are few too many parentheses for my taste.

Maybe exceed 80 columns in a single line

	may_sleep = preemptible() && !in_softirq() && system_state >= SYSTEM_RUNNING;

or align the continuation

	may_sleep = (preemptible() && !in_softirq() &&
		     system_state >= SYSTEM_RUNNING);

or use individual lines

	may_sleep = (preemptible() &&
		     !in_softirq() &&
		     system_state >= SYSTEM_RUNNING);
