DESCRIPTION

16       Releases the semaphore which the caller holds on the console system and
17       the console driver list.
18
19       While the semaphore was held, console output may have been buffered by
20       printk. If this is the case, release_console_sem emits the output prior
21       to releasing the semaphore.
22
23       If there is output waiting for klogd, we wake it up.
24
25       release_console_sem may be called from any context.
