ARM: add option to flush console before reboot
If the console_lock was held while the system was rebooted, the messages in the temporary logbuffer would not have propogated to all the console drivers. This force releases the console lock if it failed to be acquired. Change-Id: I193dcf7b968be17966833e50b8b8bc70d5d9fe89 Signed-off-by: Dima Zavin <dima@android.com>

+ help
+ If the console is locked while the system is rebooted, the messages
+ in the temporary logbuffer would not have propogated to all the
+ console drivers. This option forces the console lock to be
+ released if it failed to be acquired, which will cause all the
+ pending messages to be flushed.
