printk: nbcon: Add unsafe flushing on panic
Add nbcon_atomic_flush_unsafe() to flush all nbcon consoles using the write_atomic() callback and allowing unsafe hostile takeovers. Call this at the end of panic() as a final attempt to flush any pending messages. Note that legacy consoles use unsafe methods for flushing from the beginning of panic (see bust_spinlocks()). Therefore, systems using both legacy and nbcon consoles may still fail to see panic messages due to unsafe legacy console usage.
