[PATCH] add "notime" boot option

[Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>]

From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com>

Add "notime" boot option to prevent timing data from being printed on
each printk message line.

We've seen a few cases of 'time' data locking problems (possibly
involving netconsole or net drivers).  If a kernel is built with
CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=y, it may have a boot locking hang.  Booting
with "notime" may (i.e., could) prevent the lock hang and allow the
kernel to boot successfully, without requiring a kernel rebuild.
