The pr_debug() in gic-v3 gic_send_sgi() can trigger a circular locking
warning:

 GICv3: CPU10: ICC_SGI1R_EL1 5000400
 ======================================================

 dynamic_debug01/1873 is trying to acquire lock:
  ((console_sem).lock){-...}, at: [<0000000099c891ec>] down_trylock+0x20/0x4c

 but task is already holding lock:
  (&rq->lock){-.-.}, at: [<00000000842e1587>] __task_rq_lock+0x54/0xdc

 which lock already depends on the new lock.

 other info that might help us debug this:

 Chain exists of:
   (console_sem).lock --> &p->pi_lock --> &rq->lock

  Possible unsafe locking scenario:

        CPU0                    CPU1
        ----                    ----
   lock(&rq->lock);
                                lock(&p->pi_lock);
                                lock(&rq->lock);
   lock((console_sem).lock);

This could be fixed with printk_deferred() but that might lessen its
usefulness for debugging. So change it to pr_devel to keep it out of
production kernels. Developers working on gic-v3 can enable it as
needed in their kernels.
