[PATCH v2 3/3] x86/dumpstack: Show registers dump with trace's log level

[Dmitry Safonov]

show_trace_log_lvl() provides x86 platform-specific way to unwind
backtrace with a given log level. Unfortunately, registers dump(s) are
not printed with the same log level - instead, KERN_DEFAULT is always
used.

Arista's switches uses quite common setup with rsyslog, where only
urgent messages goes to console (console_log_level=KERN_ERR), everything
else goes into /var/log/ as the console baud-rate often is indecently
slow (9600 bps).

Backtrace dumps without registers printed have proven to be as useful as
morning standups. Furthermore, in order to introduce KERN_UNSUPPRESSED
(which I believe is still the most elegant way to fix raciness of sysrq[1])
the log level should be passed down the stack to register dumping
functions. Besides, I have a potential use-case for printing traces
with KERN_DEBUG level [2] (where registers dump shouldn't appear with
higher log level).

After all preparations are done, provide log_lvl parameter for
show_regs_if_on_stack() and wire up to actual log level used as
an argument for show_trace_log_lvl().
