The changelog is poor, because it fails to describe _why_ this change
is being made.  I rewrote it to

  Rename `printk_delay_msec' to `loops_per_msec', because the patch
  "printk: add printk_delay to make messages readable for some
  scenarios" wishes to more appropriately use the `printk_delay_msec'
  identifier.
