Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:

 - Do not allow use of freed init data and code even when boot consoles
   are forced to stay. Also check for the init memory more precisely.

 - Some code clean up by starting contributors.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pmladek/printk:
  printk: Clean up do_syslog() error handling
  printk/console: Enhance the check for consoles using init memory
  printk/console: Always disable boot consoles that use init memory before it is freed
  printk: Modify operators of printed_len and text_len
