[PATCH] printk: Export struct log size and member offsets through vmcoreinfo

[Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com>]

There are tools like makedumpfile and vmcore-dmesg which can extract
kernel log buffer from vmcore. Since we introduced structured logging,
that functionality is broken. Now user space tools need to know about
"struct log" and offsets of various fields to be able to parse struct
log data and extract text message or dictonary.

This patch exports some of the fields.

Currently I am not exporting log "level" info as that is a bitfield and
offsetof() bitfields can't be calculated. But if people start asking for
log level info in the output then we probably either need to seprate
out "level" or use bit shift operations for flags and level.
