[PATCH 05/16] printk: implement log_seq_range() and ext_log_from_seq()

[Tejun Heo]

Implement two functions to access log messages by their sequence
numbers.

* log_seq_range() determines the currently available sequence number
  range.

* ext_log_from_seq() outputs log message identified by a given
  sequence number in the extended format.

These will be used to implement reliable netconsole.
