DESCRIPTION

16       Releases the console_lock which the caller holds on the console system
17       and the console driver list.
18
19       While the console_lock was held, console output may have been buffered
20       by printk. If this is the case, console_unlock; emits the output prior
21       to releasing the lock.
22
23       If there is output waiting, we wake /dev/kmsg and syslog users.
24
25       console_unlock; may be called from any context.
