So I'm thinking this is a won't fix - wait for the printk rework to land and
assume this will be resolved as well?  

That pretty much sums up what I was about to say ;-)

tp_printk is more of a hack and not to be used sparingly. With the right
trace events it can hang the machine.

So, you can use your internal patch locally, but I would recommend waiting
for the new printk changes to land. I'm really hoping that will be soon!

For this patch (not a potential additional one that we aren't going to do ;)
