Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] tty/sysrq: Dump printk ring buffer messages via sysrq

When terminal is unresponsive, one cannot use dmesg to view printk
ring buffer messages. Also, syslog services may be disabled,
to check the messages after a reboot, especially on embedded systems.
In this scenario, dump the printk ring buffer messages via sysrq
by pressing sysrq+D.
