printk: remove games with previous record flags
The record logging code looks at the previous record flags in various ways, and they are all wrong. You can't use the previous record flags to determine anything about the next record, because they may simply not be related. In particular, the reason the previous record was a continuation record may well be exactly _because_ the new record was printed by a different process, which is why the previous record was flushed. So all those games are simply wrong, and make the code hard to understand (because the code fundamentally cdoes not make sense). So remove it.
