commit c9dccacfccc72c32692eedff4a27a4b0833a2afd upstream.

kmsg_dump_get_buffer() is supposed to select all the youngest log
messages which fit into the provided buffer.  It determines the correct
start index by using msg_print_text() with a NULL buffer to calculate
the size of each entry.  However, when performing the actual writes,
msg_print_text() only writes the entry to the buffer if the written len
is lesser than the size of the buffer.  So if the lengths of the
selected youngest log messages happen to precisely fill up the provided
buffer, the last log message is not included.

We don't want to modify msg_print_text() to fill up the buffer and start
returning a length which is equal to the size of the buffer, since
callers of its other users, such as kmsg_dump_get_line(), depend upon
the current behaviour.

Instead, fix kmsg_dump_get_buffer() to compensate for this.

For example, with the following two final prints:

[    6.427502] AAAAAAAAAAAAA
[    6.427769] BBBBBBBB12345

A dump of a 64-byte buffer filled by kmsg_dump_get_buffer(), before this
patch:
