printk: syslog: close window between wait and read

Syslog's SYSLOG_ACTION_READ is supposed to block until the next
syslog record can be read, and then it should read that record.
However, because @syslog_lock is not held between waking up and
reading the record, another reader could read the record first,
thus causing SYSLOG_ACTION_READ to return with a value of 0, never
having read _anything_.

By holding @syslog_lock between waking up and reading, it can be
guaranteed that SYSLOG_ACTION_READ blocks until it successfully
reads a syslog record (or a real error occurs).
