It was not clear when exactly console_srcu_read_flags() must be used vs. directly reading @console->flags. Refactor and clarify that console_srcu_read_flags() is only needed if the console is registered or the caller is in a context where the registration status of the console may change (due to another context). The function requires the caller holds @console_srcu, which will ensure that the caller sees an appropriate @flags value for the registered console and that exit/cleanup routines will not run if the console is in the process of unregistration.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
