Replace the buffers in struct devkmsg_user with a struct printk_buffers. This reduces the number of buffers to keep track of. As a side-effect, @text_buf was 8kB large, even though it only needed to be the max size of a ringbuffer record. By switching to struct printk_buffers, ~7kB less memory is allocated when opening /dev/kmsg. And since struct printk_buffers will be used now, reduce duplicate code by calling printk_get_next_message() to handle the record reading and formatting. Note that since /dev/kmsg never suppresses records based on loglevel, printk_get_next_message() is extended with an extra bool argument to specify if suppression is allowed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
