kgdboc_earlycon_init() uses the console_lock to ensure that no consoles are unregistered until the kgdboc_earlycon is setup. This is necessary because the trapping of the exit() callback assumes that the exit() callback is not called before the trap is setup. Explicitly document this non-typical console_lock usage.
