[PATCH V3b] x86, cpu: trivial printk formatting fixes

[Steven Honeyman]

dmesg (from util-linux) currently has two methods for reading the kernel message ring buffer: /dev/kmsg and syslog(2). Since kernel 3.5.0 kmsg has been the default, which escapes control characters (e.g. new lines) before they are shown.

This change means that when dmesg is using /dev/kmsg, a 2 line printk makes the output messy, because the second line does not get a timestamp.
For example:

[    0.012863] CPU0: Thermal monitoring enabled (TM1)
[    0.012869] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 1024, 2MB 1024, 4MB 1024
Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 1024, 2MB 1024, 4MB 1024, 1GB 4
[    0.012958] Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 28K (ffffffff81d86000 - ffffffff81d8d000)
[    0.014961] dmar: Host address width 39

Because printk.c intentionally escapes control characters, they should not be there in the first place.
This patch fixes two occurrences of this.

V2: Revert change to log level, only fix the newline formatting issue
V3: Expand patch description
V3b: Fix silly mistake (log level)
