printk: Avoid irq_work for printk_deferred() on suspend

With commit ("printk: Avoid scheduling irq_work on suspend") the
implementation of printk_get_console_flush_type() was modified to
avoid offloading when irq_work should be blocked during suspend.
Since printk uses the returned flush type to determine what
flushing methods are used, this was thought to be sufficient for
avoiding irq_work usage during the suspend phase.

However, vprintk_emit() implements a hack to support
printk_deferred(). In this hack, the returned flush type is
adjusted to make sure no legacy direct printing occurs when
printk_deferred() was used.

Because of this hack, the legacy offloading flushing method can
still be used, causing irq_work to be queued when it should not
be.

Adjust the vprintk_emit() hack to also consider
@console_irqwork_blocked so that legacy offloading will not be
chosen when irq_work should be blocked.
