printk/sched: Introduce special printk_sched() for those awkward moments
There's a few awkward printk()s inside of scheduler guts that people prefer to keep but really are rather deadlock prone. Fudge around it by storing the text in a per-cpu buffer and poll it using the existing printk_tick() handler. This will drop output when its more frequent than once a tick, however only the affinity thing could possible go that fast and for that just one should suffice to notify the admin he's done something silly..
