Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 3/3] Sample refactor of socket.c to use recursive printk

Sample refactor of socket.c to use recursive printk

Add a new function net_printk which takes a level argument
(kernel message level), format string and varargs and
calls printk with this format string and arguments:

    printk("%sNET: %v\n", level, fmt, args);

This is a proof of concept to show that recursive printk
works and is useful.
