From: Ivan Delalande <colona@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: printk: add clear_idx symbol to vmcoreinfo
This allows us to extract from the vmcore only the messages emitted since
the last time the ring buffer was cleared. We just have to make sure its
value is always up-to-date, when old messages are discarded to free space
in log_make_free_space() for example.
