From: "Bu, Yitian" <y...@qti.qualcomm.com> commit 07354eb1a74d1 ("locking printk: Annotate logbuf_lock as raw") reintroduced a lock inversion problem which was fixed in commit 0b5e1c5255 ("printk: Release console_sem after logbuf_lock"). This happened probably when fixing up patch rejects.
Restore the ordering and unlock logbuf_lock before releasing console_sem.
