Subject: [PATCH 3/4] printk: Implement some unlocked kmsg_dump functions
If used from KDB, the locked variants are prone to deadlocks (suppose we
got to the debugger w/ the logbuf lock held).
So, we have to implement a few routines that grab no logbuf lock.
Yet we don't need these functions in modules, so we don't export them.
