_DECLARE_PRINTKRB declares multiple variables, so this patch will not
work as intended. I would like to declare the variables static but am
not sure how best to go about it.

In the Linux source I see examples of macros just desclaring the
variables static. And I see examples of the macros providing a parameter
where the "static" keyword can be specified.

Since the ringbuffer was created exclusively to serve printk, I would
prefer to just have _DECLARE_PRINTKRB (and DECLARE_PRINTKRB) declare all
the variables as static.
