Subject: [PATCH 39/54] printk: Fail pr_flush() if before SYSTEM_SCHEDULING
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/6.11/older/patches-6.11-rt7.tar.xz

A follow-up change adds pr_flush() to console unregistration.
However, with boot consoles unregistration can happen very
early if there are also regular consoles registering as well.
In this case the pr_flush() is not important because all
consoles are flushed when checking the initial console sequence
number.

Allow pr_flush() to fail if @system_state has not yet reached
SYSTEM_SCHEDULING. This avoids might_sleep() and msleep()
explosions that would otherwise occur:

And then the kernel goes into an infinite loop complaining about:

1. releasing a pinned lock
2. unpinning an unpinned lock
3. bad: scheduling from the idle thread!
4. goto 1
