From: chenqiwu <chenqiwu@xxxxxxxxxx>
Fix for the "log -a" option. The printk logbuf is a ring buffer,
if log_first_idx is larger than log_next_idx, there are two buffer
zones must be handled for logdump:
1) [log_first_idx, log_buf_len]
2) [0, log_next_idx]
However, the original code ignores the logdump for the second buffer
zone if log_first_idx is larger than log_next_idx. Without this patch,
the option fails with the following error message "duplicate log_buf
message pointer".
