Fix possible indexing array of bound for
port->logbuffer[port->logbuffer_head], where port->logbuffer_head boundary
  check happens later. so we do it before.

One could argue that the check is unnecessary and can be removed as it can be proven
that it logbuffer_head always in the range of [0, LOG_BUFFER_ENTRIES - 1]. Moving
the check, however, does not add any value unless you can _prove_ that it needs to
be moved, ie that logbuffer_head can be observed to be < 0 or >= LOG_BUFFER_ENTRIES.
I think that is quite unlikely.
