[PATCH 2/2] printk: make sure to print log on console.

[Maninder Singh]

This patch make sure printing of log if loglevel at time of storing
log is greater than current console loglevel.

@why
In case of async printk, printk thread can miss logs because it checks
current log level at time of console_unlock.

func()
{
....
....
	console_verbose();  // user wants to have all the logs on console.
	pr_alert();
	pr_info();
	dump_backtrace(); // prints with default loglevel.
	pr_info();
	pr_emerg();
	pr_info();
	...
	...
	...
	pr_info();
	console_silent(); // stop all logs from printing on console.
}

Now if printk thread is scheduled after setting console loglevel
to silent, then user's requirement will be in waste, because it will not
print logs on console at time of printk thread scheduling.

@how
use one bit of flags field to store whether its console print
or not(console_print) by checking current console loglevel with 
message's level at time of log.
At time of print check this flag for printing message on console.
