I did it that particular way for a reason - console_unlock() does a
bunch of tricks: unlocking logbuf in the middle of printing loop,
breaking out of loop with local IRQs disabled, re-taking the logbuf
after the loop still will local IRQs disabled, etc. etc. I didn't
want to (and still don't) mix-in logbuf macros; we do things that
macros don't cover anyway. sorry, I don't agree that the patch
improves readability.
