[RFC][PATCHv6 07/12] printk: register syscore notifier

We need to switch to emergency printk mode in kernel_kexec(). One
kernel_kexec() branch calls kernel_restart_prepare(), which updates
`system_state', however, the other one, when user requested to
->preserve_context, does not and we are lacking the information
in printk about kexec being executed. Register a syscore notifier
so printk will be notified by syscore_suspend().
