printk/kdb: Redirect printk messages into kdb in any context
kdb has to get messages on consoles even when the system is stopped. It uses kdb_printf() internally and calls console drivers on its own. It uses a hack to reuse an existing code. It sets "kdb_trap_printk" global variable to redirect even the normal printk() into the kdb_printf() variant. The variable "kdb_trap_printk" is checked in printk_default() and it is ignored when printk is redirected to printk_safe in NMI context. Solve this by moving the check into printk_func(). It is obvious that it is not fully safe. But it does not make things worse. The console drivers are already called in this context by db_printf() direct calls.
