[PATCH_V2 1/2] fix the bug that printk can't support printk(KERN_LEVEL)

["he, bo" <bo.he@intel.com>]

From: he bo <bo.he@intel.com>

Usually, there is a special scenario that developer wants to
call printk to just set up a log level (might be transferred
here as a parameter from upper level), then, later calling
of printk prints out real string with the same log level
continuously.

Current function vprintk has an issue to support this capability.
When the whole string in one calling to printk is just a log level,
it ignores it.
