[PATCH printk 1/5] printk: get new seq before enabling interrupts

[John Ogness]

After copying all records to the dynamic ringbuffer, setup_log_buf()
checks to see if any records were dropped during the switch. However,
it needs to check before enabling interrupts since new records could
arrive in an interrupt, thus causing setup_log_buf() to erroneously
think that it had dropped messages.
