printk: Add is_printk_legacy_deferred()

If printk has been explicitly deferred or is called from NMI
context, legacy console printing must be deferred to an irq_work
context. Introduce a helper function is_printk_legacy_deferred()
for a CPU to query if it must defer legacy console printing.

In follow-up commits this helper will be needed at other call
sites as well.
