[PATCH 2/4] printk/kdb: Handle more message headers

[Petr Mladek]

The commit 4bcc595ccd80decb4245096e ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for
printing continuation lines") allows to define more message headers
for a single message. The motivation is that continuous lines might
get mixed. Therefore it make sense to define the right log level
for every piece of a cont line.

This patch introduces printk_skip_headers() that will skip all
headers and uses it in the kdb code instead of printk_skip_level().

This approach helps to fix other printk_skip_level() users
independently.
