This patch revamps TIPC's print buffer subsystem to eliminate
support for arbitrary chains of print buffers, which were
rarely needed and difficult to use safely.
In its place, print buffers can now be configured to echo their
output to the system console. This provides an equivalent for
the only chaining currently utilized by TIPC, in a faster and
more compact manner.

This patch simplifies & standardizes the way TIPC's print buffer
log is resized. Code to terminate use of the log buffer is
eliminated by simply setting the log buffer size to 0 bytes.

This change modifies TIPC's print buffer code as follows:
1) Now supports small print buffers (min. size reduced from 512 bytes to 64)
2) Now uses TIPC_NULL print buffer structure to indicate null device
instead of NULL pointer (this simplified error handling)
3) Fixed misuse of console buffer structure by tipc_dump()
4) Added and corrected comments in various places
