Currently we don't have a way to check if there are dumpers set,
except counting the list members maybe. This patch introduces a very
simple helper to provide this information, by just keeping track of
registered/unregistered kmsg dumpers. It's going to be used on the
panic path in the subsequent patch.
Notice that the spinlock guarding kmsg_dumpers list also guards
increment/decrement of the dumper's counter, but there's no need
for that when reading the counter in the panic path, since that is
an atomic path and there's no other (planned) user.
