The original intent of the 'console' tracepoint per the commit 95100358
("printk/tracing: Add console output tracing") had been to "[...] record
any printk messages into the trace, regardless of the current console
loglevel. This can help correlate (existing) printk debugging with other
tracing."

Petr points out [1] that calling trace_console_rcuidle() in
call_console_driver() had been the wrong thing for a while, because
"printk() always used console_trylock() and the message was flushed to
the console only when the trylock succeeded. And it was always deferred
in NMI or when printed via printk_deferred()."

With the commit 09c5ba0a ("printk: add kthread console printers"),
things only got worse, and calls to call_console_driver() no longer
happen with typical printk() calls but always appear deferred [2].

As such, the tracepoint can no longer serve its purpose to clearly
correlate printk() calls and other tracing, as well as breaks usecases
that expect every printk() call to result in a callback of the console
tracepoint. Notably, the KFENCE and KCSAN test suites, which want to
capture console output and assume a printk() immediately gives us a
callback to the console tracepoint.

Fix the console tracepoint by moving it into printk_sprint() [3].

One notable difference is that by moving tracing into printk_sprint(),
the 'text' will no longer include the "header" (loglevel and timestamp),
but only the raw message. Arguably this is less of a problem now that
the console tracepoint happens on the printk() call and isn't delayed.
