Subject: [PATCH 3/5] printk: Split message size computation

We will want to recompute the message size when shrinking too long messages.
Let's put the code into separate function.

The side effect of setting "pad_len" is not nice but it is worth removing
the code duplication. Note that I will probably have one more usage for this
function when handling messages safe way in NMI context.

This patch does not change the existing behavior.
