[PATCH next v3 8/8] scripts/gdb: support printk finalized records

From: John Ogness
Date: Sun Aug 30 2020 - 21:11:34 EST


With commit ("printk: ringbuffer: add finalization/extension support")
a new state bit for finalized records was added. This not only changed
the bit representation of committed records, but also reduced the size
for record IDs.

Update the gdb scripts to correctly interpret the state variable.
