    Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
    
     - Optionally, provide an index of possible printk messages via
       <debugfs>/printk/index/. It can be used when monitoring important
       kernel messages on a farm of various hosts. The monitor has to be
       updated when some messages has changed or are not longer available by
       a newly deployed kernel.
    
     - Add printk.console_no_auto_verbose boot parameter. It allows to
       generate crash dump even with slow consoles in a reasonable time
       frame.
    
     - Remove printk_safe buffers. The messages are always stored directly
       to the main logbuffer, even in NMI or recursive context. Also it
       allows to serialize syslog operations by a mutex instead of a spin
       lock.
    
     - Misc clean up and build fixes.
