printk: Add execution context (task name/CPU) to printk_info
Extend struct printk_info to include the task name, pid, and CPU
number where printk messages originate. This information is captured
at vprintk_store() time and propagated through printk_message to
nbcon_write_context, making it available to nbcon console drivers.
This is useful for consoles like netconsole that want to include
execution context in their output, allowing correlation of messages
with specific tasks and CPUs regardless of where the console driver
actually runs.
The feature is controlled by CONFIG_PRINTK_EXECUTION_CTX, which is
automatically selected by CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC. When disabled,
the helper functions compile to no-ops with no overhead.
