A machine that previously frequently reported problems with
microuptime() going backwards in calcru started crashing after a
recent update.

I'm just guessing based on the stack trace and the panic message
(and this is the first time I look at anything related to SMPng
locking), but it seems that calcru calls printf which eventually
tries to wake up another process and grab allproc_lock while
sched_lock is held...

This seems like an obvious enough bug that it should not require
further details.

Remove or defer the printf-calls.
