Subject: [PATCH 28/38] Externalize string buffer for printk

This patch splits off the actual logging from vprintk_emit()
into printk_emit_string(), with vprintk_emit() just being a
simple wrapper for formatting the message into a
static buffer.

With that the caller can pass in a local buffer for
printk_emit_string() without increasing the overall stack size.
