I have several solutions in mind: one would be to introduce a function
log_level() to get the current log level and decide on that whether to
call memory_display. However then memory dump won't pick up the pr_*
prefixes and use plain printf nevertheless. So my second thought is to
add a callback function to memory_display to pass pr_debug or else to it
which it can use to print stuff. However then we need to remodel
memory_display so it always prints full lines (or uses pr_cont which it
would need to know about, and you wanted to get rid of pr_cont anyway).
We could also use a third way and implement a custom printf escape, say
%md, that gets replaced with memory_display output when calling
pr_printk, and move the core formatting of memory_display into a helper.

I'm not sure which one is best.
