    kernel - add spinlock to syscons console write path
    
    * Add a spinlock in the console write path which is shared with
      general console writes (CONS_LOCK is only used for kernel console
      writes).
    
    * Fixes MP races between kprintf() and general console writes which
      can cause sc->videoio_in_progress to get out of sync, causing
      vga consoles to stop generating output.
