Long lines are allowed for (kernel) messages, to make them easily grep-
able.

In this specific case you can either append the new text to the message
without introducing that strange indentation or even better break the
usage string alike:

	"Usage: %s [-46acmHPtTuvz] [-C cpu] [-D dst ip] [-l secs] [-L secs]"
	" [-L secs] [-M messagenr] [-p port] [-s sendsize] [-S gsosize]"
