Add a helper function to use the current state of the CPU to
determine which priority to assign to the printing context.

The EMERGENCY priority handling is added in a follow-up commit.
It will use a per-CPU variable.

Note: nbcon_driver_try_acquire(), which is used by console
      drivers to acquire the nbcon console for non-printing
      activities, will always use NORMAL priority.
