kgdboc: disable the console lock when in kgdb
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
After commit ddde3c1 ("vt: More locking checks") kdb / kgdb has
become useless because my console is filled with spews of:

Let's disable this warning when we're in kgdb to avoid the spew.  The
whole system is stopped when we're in kgdb so we can't exactly wait
for someone else to drop the lock.  Presumably the best we can do is
to disable the warning and hope for the best.
