[PATCH v7 2/7] printk: insert newline for truncated records

[Alex Elder]

If a log record has LOG_PREFIX set, its predecessor record should be
terminated if it was marked LOG_CONT.

In msg_print_text(), this condition was being ignored, which would
lead to such records showing up combined when reading /dev/kmsg.
Fix this oversight.
