printk: Add KERN_DEFAULT printk log-level
This adds a KERN_DEFAULT loglevel marker, for when you cannot decide
which loglevel you want, and just want to keep an existing printk
with the default loglevel.
The difference between having KERN_DEFAULT and having no log-level
marker at all is two-fold:
- having the log-level marker will now force a new-line if the
previous printout had not added one (perhaps because it forgot,
but perhaps because it expected a continuation)
- having a log-level marker is required if you are printing out a
message that otherwise itself could perhaps otherwise be mistaken
for a log-level.
