In preparation for my v2, I implemented this alternate approach. Rather
than introducing record_print_text_inline(), I changed
record_print_text() to work inline and also it will no longer handle the
counting case. The callers of record_print_text() for counting will now
call the new counting functions. IMHO it is a nice cleanup and also
removes the static printk_record structs for console and syslog.

Thanks.
