[PATCH printk v2 4/7] printk: Add struct console_buffers

[John Ogness]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Create a data structure to replace the open coded separate buffers for
regular, extended, and dropped message formatting.

A separate @ext_text buffer is needed because info_print_ext_header()
and msg_print_ext_body() are not able to add the needed extra
information in-place.

@ext_text can be used for dropped text because they are never used at
the same time.
