x86, CPU: Fix trivial printk formatting issues with dmesg
dmesg (from util-linux) currently has two methods for reading the kernel message ring buffer: /dev/kmsg and syslog(2). Since kernel 3.5.0 kmsg has been the default, which escapes control characters (e.g. new lines) before they are shown. This change means that when dmesg is using /dev/kmsg, a 2 line printk makes the output messy, because the second line does not get a timestamp. For example: [ 0.012863] CPU0: Thermal monitoring enabled (TM1) [ 0.012869] Last level iTLB entries: 4KB 1024, 2MB 1024, 4MB 1024 Last level dTLB entries: 4KB 1024, 2MB 1024, 4MB 1024, 1GB 4 [ 0.012958] Freeing SMP alternatives memory: 28K (ffffffff81d86000 - ffffffff81d8d000) [ 0.014961] dmar: Host address width 39 Because printk.c intentionally escapes control characters, they should not be there in the first place. This patch fixes two occurrences of this.
