Hello,
Two patches: trivial clean up and console_unlock() "fix".
The `printk messages dropped' report is printed as part of actual
kernel message, that's why we do 'text + len, sizeof(text) - len'
later in msg_print_text().
The problem here is that we may eventually skip the message, and
thus lose the 'printk messages dropped' report, if `console_loglevel'
check tells us to do so. Missing kernel messages in serial log
together with the missing 'printk messages dropped' can be quite
confusing.
There are two options to address it:
a) forbid suppress_message_printing() if we know that we must print
`printk messages dropped'
b) print `printk messages dropped' as a standalone message.

printk: drop call_console_drivers() unused param
printk: always report lost messages on serial console
