[PATCH v2 1/2] printk: introduce dump_stack_lvl()

[Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com>]

dump_stack() is used for many different cases, which may require a log
level consistent with other kernel messages surrounding the dump_stack()
call.
Without that, certain systems that are configured to ignore the default
level messages will miss stack traces in critical error reports.

This patch introduces dump_stack_lvl() that behaves similarly to
dump_stack(), but accepts a custom log level.
The old dump_stack() becomes equal to dump_stack_lvl(KERN_DEFAULT).

A somewhat similar patch has been proposed in 2012:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1332493269.2359.9.camel@hebo/
, but wasn't merged.
