SYNOPSIS
void release_console_sem(void);
ARGUMENTS
void
no arguments
DESCRIPTION
Releases the semaphore which the caller holds on the console system and
the console driver list.
While the semaphore was held, console output may have been buffered by
printk. If this is the case, release_console_sem emits the output prior
to releasing the semaphore.
If there is output waiting for klogd, we wake it up.
release_console_sem may be called from any context.
