clockevents_increase_min_delta() calls printk() from under
hrtimer_bases.lock. That causes lock inversion on scheduler locks because
printk() can call into the scheduler. Lockdep puts it as:

trinity-main/74 is trying to acquire lock:
 (&port_lock_key){-.....}, at: [<811c60be>] serial8250_console_write+0x8c/0x10c

but task is already holding lock:
 (hrtimer_bases.lock){-.-...}, at: [<8103caeb>] hrtimer_try_to_cancel+0x13/0x66

which lock already depends on the new lock.

the existing dependency chain (in reverse order) is:

other info that might help us debug this:

Chain exists of:
  &port_lock_key --> &ctx->lock --> hrtimer_bases.lock

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----

Fix the problem by using printk_deferred() which does not call into the
scheduler.
