[PATCH] printk() should not be called under zone->lock
This patch fixes printk() under zone->lock in show_free_areas(). It can be
unsafe to call printk() under this lock, since caller can try to
allocate/free some memory and selfdeadlock on this lock. I found
allocations/freeing mem both in netconsole and serial console.
This issue was faced in reallity when meminfo was periodically printed for
debug purposes and netconsole was used.
