printk: nbcon: Allow KDB to acquire the NBCON context

KDB can interrupt any console to execute the "mirrored printing" at any
time, so add an exception to nbcon_context_try_acquire_direct to allow
to get the context if the current CPU is the same as kdb_printf_cpu.

This change will be necessary for the next patch, which fixes
kdb_msg_write to work with NBCON consoles by calling ->write_atomic on
such consoles. But to print it first needs to acquire the ownership of
the console, so nbcon_context_try_acquire_direct is fixed here.
