[RFC V2] printk: add warning while drop partial text in msg

[pierre Kuo]

If the buffer pass to msg_print_text is not big enough to put both all
prefixes and log_text(msg), kernel will quietly break.
That means the user may not have the chance to know whether the
log_text(msg) is fully printed into buffer or not.

In this patch, once above case happened, we try to calculate how many
characters of log_text(msg) are dropped and add warning for debugging
purpose.
