printk: rename cpulock functions
Since the printk cpulock is CPU-reentrant and since it is used in all contexts, its usage must be carefully considered and most likely will require programming locklessly. To avoid mistaking the printk cpulock as a typical lock, rename it to cpu_sync. The main functions then become: printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave(flags); printk_cpu_sync_put_irqrestore(flags); Add extra notes of caution in the function description to help developers understand the requirements for correct usage.
