Currently "dropped messages" are separately printed immediately before printing the printk message. Since normal consoles are now using an output buffer that is much larger than previously, the "dropped message" could be prepended to the printk message and then output everything in a single write() call. Introduce a helper function console_prepend_dropped() to prepend an existing message with a "dropped message". This simplifies the code by allowing all message formatting to be handled together and then only requires a single write() call to output the full message. And since this helper does not require any locking, it can be used in the future for other console printing contexts as well. Note that console_prepend_dropped() is defined as a NOP for !CONFIG_PRINTK. Although the function will never be called for !CONFIG_PRINTK, compiling the function can lead to warnings of "always true" conditionals due to the size macro values used in !CONFIG_PRINTK.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
