[PATCH v4 2/3] powerpc/process: fix interleaved output in show_user_instructions()

[Christophe Leroy]

When two processes crash at the same time, we sometimes encounter
interleaving in the middle of a line:

[    4.365317] init[1]: segfault (11) at 0 nip 0 lr 0 code 1
[    4.370452] init[1]: code: XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
[    4.372042] init[74]: segfault (11) at 10a74 nip 1000c198 lr 100078c8 code 1 in sh[10000000+14000]
[    4.386829] XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
[    4.391542] init[1]: code: XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
[    4.400863] init[74]: code: 90010024 bf61000c 91490a7c 3fa01002 3be00000 7d3e4b78 3bbd0c20 3b600000
[    4.409867] init[74]: code: 3b9d0040 7c7fe02e 2f830000 419e0028 <89230000> 2f890000 41be001c 4b7f6e79

This patch fixes it by preparing complete lines in a buffer and
printing it at once.

 v4: rebased
 v3: no change
 v2: Using seq_buf and reworked the loop to avoid redundant prints.
