[PATCH v3 2/2] tty/sysrq: Dump printk ring buffer messages via sysrq

[Sreenath Vijayan]

When terminal is unresponsive, one cannot use dmesg to view printk
ring buffer messages. Also, syslog services may be disabled,
to check the messages after a reboot, especially on embedded systems.
In this scenario, dump the printk ring buffer messages via sysrq
by pressing sysrq+D.
