Douglas Anderson 81eaadcae8 kgdboc: disable the console lock when in kgdb
After commit ddde3c18b7 ("vt: More locking checks") kdb / kgdb has
become useless because my console is filled with spews of:

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at .../drivers/tty/vt/vt.c:3846 con_is_visible+0x50/0x74

Let's disable this warning when we're in kgdb to avoid the spew.  The
whole system is stopped when we're in kgdb so we can't exactly wait
for someone else to drop the lock.  Presumably the best we can do is
to disable the warning and hope for the best.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
