printk: make reading the kernel log flush pending lines
That will mean that any possible subsequent continuation will now be broken up onto a line of its own (since reading the log has finalized the beginning og the line), but if user space has activated system logging (or if there's a kernel message dump going on) that is the right thing to do. And now that we actually get the continuation flags _right_ for this all, the user space logger that is reading the kernel messages can actually see the continuation marker. Not that anybody seems to really bother with it (or care), but in theory user space can do its own message stitching. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
