Petr Mladek 07a22b6194 Revert "printk: add functions to prefer direct printing"
This reverts commit 2bb2b7b57f.

The testing of 5.19 release candidates revealed missing synchronization
between early and regular console functionality.

It would be possible to start the console kthreads later as a workaround.
But it is clear that console lock serialized console drivers between
each other. It opens a big area of possible problems that were not
considered by people involved in the development and review.

printk() is crucial for debugging kernel issues and console output is
very important part of it. The number of consoles is huge and a proper
review would take some time. As a result it need to be reverted for 5.19.
