Description

Releases the mutex which the caller holds on the console system and the console driver list.

While the mutex was held, console output may have been buffered by printk. If this is the case, release_console_mutex emits the output prior to releasing the mutex.

If there is output waiting for klogd, we wake it up.

release_console_mutex may be called from any context.
