We used to do that and this caught me as a surprise when looking again.
This is a result of 76a1850e4572 ("mm/debug.c: __dump_page() prints an
extra line") which is a cleanup patch and I suspect this result was not
anticipated.

The following will do the trick but I cannot really say I like the code
duplication. pr_cont in this case sounds like a much cleaner solution to
me.
