There are reports that the console kthreads block the global console lock when the system is going down, for example, reboot, panic. First part of the solution was to block kthreads in these problematic system states so they stopped handling newly added messages. Second part of the solution is to wait when for the kthreads when they are actively printing. It solves the problem when a message was printed before the system entered the problematic state and the kthreads managed to step in. A busy waiting has to be used because panic() can be called in any context and in an unknown state of the scheduler. There must be a timeout because the kthread might get stuck or sleeping and never release the lock. The timeout 10s is an arbitrary value inspired by the softlockup timeout.
