Subject: [PATCH 2/2] allow printk delay after multi lines

printk delay help us to capture printk messages on some unconvenient senarios,
but it is still not easy to read.

Add another sysctl variable printk_delay_per_lines to make it more readable.
We can set the lines according to screen height, then take pictures by camera.

kmesg will delay printk_delay_per_lines * printk_delay_msecs milliseconds
after every printk_delay_per_lines lines when printk_delay is enabled.

Setting the lines by proc/sysctl interface:
/proc/sys/kernel/printk_delay_per_lines

Andrew, sorry, I have not find time to cleanup the kernel.h sysctl variables.
If I'm free I will try to do it.

The value range from 1 - 100, default value is 1
