sched/fair: remove printk while schedule is in progress

It will cause deadlock and while(1) if call printk while schedule is in
progress. The block state like as below:

cpu0(hold the console sem):
printk->console_unlock->up_sem->spin_lock(&sem->lock)->wake_up_process(cpu1)
->try_to_wake_up(cpu1)->while(p->on_cpu).

cpu1(request console sem):
console_lock->down_sem->schedule->idle_banlance->update_cpu_capacity->
printk->console_trylock->spin_lock(&sem->lock).

p->on_cpu will be 1 forever, because the task is still running on cpu1,
so cpu0 is blocked in while(p->on_cpu), but cpu1 could not get
spin_lock(&sem->lock), it is blocked too, it means the task will running
on cpu1 forever.
