Subject: [PATCH v2 10/14] printk: track previously logged message in log_store()
Centrally track information about the previous message in log_store().
This knowledge allows us to decide immediately whether the current
message is a continuation of the previous message. And if that is so, to
keep the correct log level (continuation records do not have a log level).
Later, this will also allow us to remove the tracking of the previous
message flags throughout the syslog/kmsg formatting code.
Signed-off-by: Jan H. Schönherr <schnhrr@...tu-berlin.de>

v2:
- Fixed a bug that could mismerge continuation records, because
log_store() used "current" as the owner of the message passed in,
which might be incorrect when used from cont_flush().
- refactored code
- refactored patches
