[PATCH V2] arm64: Neaten show_regs, remove KERN_CONT

[PATCH V2] arm64: Neaten show_regs, remove KERN_CONT

[Joe Perches]

commit db4b0710fae9 ("arm64: fix show_regs fallout from KERN_CONT changes")
corrected the KERN_CONT fallout from commit 4bcc595ccd80
("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines"), but
the code still has unnecessary KERN_CONT uses.

Remove the KERN_CONT uses to avoid possible message interleaving.

Miscellanea:

o Remove unnecessary trailing blank from the output too.
o Convert i and top_reg to unsigned int
o Move the extra blank line after __show_reg to the caller for symmetry

This change is not necessary. These will work perfectly fine as ints;
please leave them as-is.

This should be:

	if (i % 2 == 0) {

Otherwise we'll lose x0 in the native case (and x29 will be given a line
of its own).

Other functions call __show_regs() directly and the trailing newline
there is expected. Please leave it in __show_regs().

Otherwise, this looks fine to me.

Thanks,
Mark.

Hey Mark.

Please fix it as you think appropriate.
No credit to me is necessary.

cheers, Joe
