Subject: LTS "sysrq: Restore original console_loglevel when sysrq disabled"

Hi Greg, Sasha,

Can you cherry-pick these two sysrq patches to LTS kernels?
They're introduced in v5.1-rc1 and should go to all prior LTS versions.

    sysrq: Restore original console_loglevel when sysrq disabled
    
    The sysrq header line is printed with an increased loglevel
    to provide users some positive feedback.
    
    The original loglevel is not restored when the sysrq operation
    is disabled. This bug was introduced in 2.6.12 (pre-git-history)
    by the commit ("Allow admin to enable only some of the Magic-Sysrq
    functions").

    sysrq: Remove duplicated sysrq message
    
    The commit 97f5f0cd8cd0a0544 ("Input: implement SysRq as a separate
input
    handler") added pr_fmt() definition. It caused a duplicated message
    prefix in the sysrq header messages, for example:
    
    [  177.053931] sysrq: SysRq : Show backtrace of all active CPUs
    [  742.864776] sysrq: SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reboot(b) crash(c)
    
    Fixes: 97f5f0cd8cd0a05 ("Input: implement SysRq as a separate input
handler")
