[PATCH v3] printk: add option to print cpu id

From: Vikram Pandita <vikram.pandita@ti.com>

Introduce config option to enable CPU id reporting for printk() calls.

Example logs with this option enabled look like:
[ 0] [ 0.063232] Mount-cache hash table entries: 512
[ 0] [ 0.068054] CPU: Testing write buffer coherency: ok
[ 0] [ 0.068939] CPU0: thread -1, cpu 0, socket 0, mpidr 80000000
[ 0] [ 0.069305] Setting up static identity map for 0x8046dc90 - 0x8046dd00
[ 0] [ 0.069366] L310 cache controller enabled
[ 0] [ 0.069396] l2x0: 16 ways, CACHE_ID 0x410000c7, AUX_CTRL 0x7e470000
[ 1] [ 0.073211] CPU1: Booted secondary processor
[ 1] [ 0.100463] CPU1: thread -1, cpu 1, socket 0, mpidr 80000001
[ 1] [ 0.100555] CPU1: Unknown IPI message 0x0
[ 0] [ 0.101348] Brought up 2 CPUs

Its sometimes very useful to have printk also print the CPU Identifier
that executed the call. This has helped to debug various SMP issues on shipping
products.

Known limitation is if the system gets preempted between function call and
actual printk, the reported cpu-id might not be accurate. But most of the
times its seen to give a good feel of how the N cpu's in the system are
getting loaded.

v1: initial version - had wrong cpuid logging mechanism
v2: fixed as per review comments from Kay Sievers
v3: allow cpuid to be u16 to support multi-core systems with 1000+ cores
