[PATCH] scripts/gdb: decode bytestream on dmesg for Python3

From: Kieran Bingham
Date: Wed May 04 2016 - 08:38:16 EST


The recent fixes to lx-dmesg, now allow the command to print
successfully on Python3, however the python interpreter wraps the bytes
for each line with a b'<text>' marker.

To remove this, we need to decode the line, where .decode() will default
to 'UTF-8'
