Sumit Garg 5946d1f5b3 kdb: Switch to use safer dbg_io_ops over console APIs
In kgdb context, calling console handlers aren't safe due to locks used
in those handlers which could in turn lead to a deadlock. Although, using
oops_in_progress increases the chance to bypass locks in most console
handlers but it might not be sufficient enough in case a console uses
more locks (VT/TTY is good example).

Currently when a driver provides both polling I/O and a console then kdb
will output using the console. We can increase robustness by using the
currently active polling I/O driver (which should be lockless) instead
of the corresponding console. For several common cases (e.g. an
embedded system with a single serial port that is used both for console
output and debugger I/O) this will result in no console handler being
used.

In order to achieve this we need to reverse the order of preference to
use dbg_io_ops (uses polling I/O mode) over console APIs. So we just
store "struct console" that represents debugger I/O in dbg_io_ops and
while emitting kdb messages, skip console that matches dbg_io_ops
console in order to avoid duplicate messages. After this change,
"is_console" param becomes redundant and hence removed.
