[PATCH] printk: Remove no longer used LOG_PREFIX.

From: Tetsuo Handa
Date: Fri Feb 22 2019 - 04:59:43 EST


When commit 5becfb1df5ac8e49 ("kmsg: merge continuation records while
printing") introduced LOG_PREFIX, we used KERN_DEFAULT etc. as a flag
for setting LOG_PREFIX in order to tell whether to call cont_add()
(i.e. whether to append the message to "struct cont").

But since commit 4bcc595ccd80decb ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for
printing continuation lines") inverted the behavior (i.e. don't append
the message to "struct cont" unless KERN_CONT is specified) and commit
5aa068ea4082b39e ("printk: remove games with previous record flags")
removed the last LOG_PREFIX check, setting LOG_PREFIX via KERN_DEFAULT
etc. is no longer meaningful.

Therefore, we can remove LOG_PREFIX and make KERN_DEFAULT empty string.
