Subject: [PATCH printk v2 2/8] printk: Provide debug_store() for nbcon debugging

To debug and validate nbcon ownership transitions, provide a new
macro debug_store() (enabled with DEBUG_NBCON) to log transition
information to the ringbuffer. If enabled, this macro only logs
to the ringbuffer and does not trigger any printing. This is to
avoid triggering recursive printing in the nbcon consoles.
