I have got another idea. We already use a lock to synchronize
readers. It might be used to avoid the race and keep the global
flush().
I played with it, see below. It is based on 2nd Peter's patch
where I modified only struct nmi_seq_buf, __printk_nmi_flush(),
and vprintk_nmi().
It forces the reader to flush everything or nothing. It is less
effective than the previous code but much more simple.
It seems to work but it is just a proof-of-concept. Also I think that
it would be possible to use the normal seq_buf in the end.
