[RFC PATCH 10/11] printk: survive rotation of sequence numbers

[Petr Mladek]

NMI log buffer uses half of "unsigned long" to store the sequence number.
The maximum value might be relatively small, especially on 32-bit systems.
This patch makes the check for free space more strict, so it does give
false results after the rotation.
