It is strange. I can't see how consoles are related to filesystem
writeback.
Anyway, the commit 10e14073107d ("writeback: Fix inode->i_io_list not
be protected by inode->i_lock error") modifies some locking and
might be source of possible deadlocks.
I am not familiar with the fs code. But I noticed the following.
The patch adds:
+ if (!was_dirty) {
+ wb = locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list(inode);
+ spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
And locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list() is defined this way:
/**
* locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list - determine a locked inode's wb and lock it
* @inode: inode of interest with i_lock held
*
* Returns @inode's wb with its list_lock held. @inode->i_lock must be
* held on entry and is released on return. The returned wb is guaranteed
* to stay @inode's associated wb until its list_lock is released.
*/
static struct bdi_writeback *
locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list(struct inode *inode)
__releases(&inode->i_lock)
__acquires(&wb->list_lock)
{
while (true) {
struct bdi_writeback *wb = inode_to_wb(inode);
/*
* inode_to_wb() association is protected by both
* @inode->i_lock and @wb->list_lock but list_lock nests
* outside i_lock. Drop i_lock and verify that the
* association hasn't changed after acquiring list_lock.
*/
wb_get(wb);
spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
It expects that inode->i_lock is taken before. But the problematic
commit takes it later. It might mess the lock and cause a deadlock.

So, you tried something like:
int unregister_console(struct console *console)
{
struct task_struct *thd;
struct console *con;
int res;
con_printk(KERN_INFO, console, "disabled\n");
[...]
+ pr_info("Stage 1\n");
console_lock();
+ pr_info("Stage 2\n");
[...]
console_unlock();
+ pr_info("Stage 3\n");
[...]
}
And "Stage 1" was the last message on the console ?
Does the system boot when you avoid "earlycon" parameter?

You might try to switch the order of console_init() and lockdep_init()
in start_kernel() in init/main.c
