Subject: [PATCH printk-rework 07/12] printk: add syslog_lock

The global variables @syslog_seq, @syslog_partial, @syslog_time
and write access to @clear_seq are protected by @logbuf_lock.
Once @logbuf_lock is removed, these variables will need their
own synchronization method. Introduce @syslog_lock for this
purpose.
