printk_delay() may introduce delays even when no console wants to emit
the message, which is unnecessary and may hold back messages we actually
care about. Add a check in printk_delay() to determine if any console
will print the message to avoid introducing unnecessary delays. This
change aligns with the existing behaviour of boot-delayed printk
messages, which already have a similar check.
