printk: lock/unlock console only for new logbuf entries

Browse Source 
Prior to commit 5c2992ee7f ("printk: remove console flushing special
cases for partial buffered lines") we would do console_cont_flush()
for each pr_cont() to print cont fragments, so console_unlock() would
actually print data:

	pr_cont();
	 console_lock();
	 console_unlock()
	  console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment
	...
	pr_cont();
	 console_lock();
	 console_unlock()
	  console_cont_flush(); // print cont fragment

We don't do console_cont_flush() anymore, so when we do pr_cont()
console_unlock() does nothing (unless we flushed the cont buffer):

	pr_cont();
	 console_lock();
	 console_unlock();      // noop
	...
	pr_cont();
	 console_lock();
	 console_unlock();      // noop
	...
	pr_cont();
	  cont_flush();
	    console_lock();
	    console_unlock();   // print data

We also wakeup klogd purposelessly for pr_cont() output - un-flushed
cont buffer is not stored in log_buf; there is nothing to pull.

Thus we can console_lock()/console_unlock()/wake_up_klogd() only when
we know that we log_store()-ed a message and there is something to
print to the consoles/syslog.
