[PATCH] printk: add cpu number to the recursion_msg message

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Mon Jan 04 2016 - 10:13:28 EST


`recursion_bug' occupies 4 bytes to just tell us there was a recent
recursion bug (basically 'bool'). Make it a bit more informative and
keep in `recursion_bug' smp_processor_id of the CPU (the most recent
one) that has caused a recursive printk bug. For instance, the error
message will change from
BUG: recent printk recursion!
to
BUG: recent printk recursion on CPU5!

Rename `recursion_bug' to `recursion_bug_cpu'.
