Subject: [for-next][PATCH 04/11] seq_buf: Add seq_buf_do_printk() helper

From: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@...omium.org>

Sometimes we use seq_buf to format a string buffer, which
we then pass to printk(). However, in certain situations
the seq_buf string buffer can get too big, exceeding the
PRINTKRB_RECORD_MAX bytes limit, and causing printk() to
truncate the string.

Add a new seq_buf helper. This helper prints the seq_buf
string buffer line by line, using \n as a delimiter,
rather than passing the whole string buffer to printk()
at once.
