[RFC PATCH] printk: Convert pr_<level> macros to functions

[Joe Perches]

printk is defined asmlinkage (extern "C")
For this RFC patch, pr_<level> calls are as well.
Is this declaration style really necessary?
Maybe moving printed_len to file scope is racy somehow?

Save 3 bytes per pr_<level> use after printk overhead

Does not store the KERN_<level> string as constant string
when using pr_<level> calls

printk.o increases ~200 bytes
defconfig decreases ~700 bytes

Minor printk neatening, moving comments above function declaration
Renamed vprint to __vprintk, added vprintk wrapper
Moved automatic printed_len to file static
Moved EXPORT_SYMBOL after functions
