[PATCH] RFC: ARM: Ensure backtraces console printing in sleep mode

From: Aurelien Gerault <aurelien.gerault-nonst at stericsson.com>

Ensuring that oops & panic messages/backtraces will be printed
in console, even if in sleep mode (i.e. when the console is
locked).

So, unlock the console before printing.
