printk: avoid and/or handle record truncation
If a reader provides a buffer that is smaller than the message text, the @text_len field of @info will have a value larger than the buffer size. If readers blindly read @text_len bytes of data without checking the size, they will read beyond their buffer. Add this check to record_print_text() to properly recognize when such truncation has occurred. Add a maximum size argument to the ringbuffer function to extend records so that records can not be created that are larger than the buffer size of readers. When extending records (LOG_CONT), do not extend records beyond LOG_LINE_MAX since that is the maximum size available in the buffers used by consoles and syslog.
