    Fix a warning about possible circular locking dependency.
    
    If do in following sequence:
    
        enter suspend ->  resume ->  plug-out CPUx (echo 0 > cpux/online)
    
    lockdep will show warning as following:

      sh/1271 is trying to acquire lock:
      (console_lock){+.+.+.}, at: console_cpu_notify+0x20/0x2c
      but task is already holding lock:
      (cpu_hotplug.lock){+.+.+.}, at: cpu_hotplug_begin+0x2c/0x58
      which lock already depends on the new lock.
    
      the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

      Chain exists of:
         console_lock --> cpu_add_remove_lock --> cpu_hotplug.lock
    
      Possible unsafe locking scenario:
             CPU0                    CPU1
             ----                    ----
      lock(cpu_hotplug.lock);
                                     lock(cpu_add_remove_lock);
                                     lock(cpu_hotplug.lock);
      lock(console_lock);
        *** DEADLOCK ***
    
    There are three locks involved in two sequence:
    a) pm suspend:
    	console_lock (@suspend_console())
    	cpu_add_remove_lock (@disable_nonboot_cpus())
    	cpu_hotplug.lock (@_cpu_down())
    b) Plug-out CPUx:
    	cpu_add_remove_lock (@(cpu_down())
    	cpu_hotplug.lock (@_cpu_down())
    	console_lock (@console_cpu_notify()) => Lockdeps prints warning log.
    
    There should be not real deadlock, as flag of console_suspended can
    protect this.
    
    Although console_suspend() releases console_sem, it doesn't tell lockdep
    about it.  That results in the lockdep warning about circular locking
    when doing the following: enter suspend -> resume -> plug-out CPUx (echo
    0 > cpux/online)
    
    Fix the problem by telling lockdep we actually released the semaphore in
    console_suspend() and acquired it again in console_resume().
