[PATCH v4 01/11] seq_buf: Do not print an empty line from an overflowed seq_buf_do_printk()

[Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>]

seq_buf_do_printk() prints a buffer line by line, then prints whatever
follows the last newline. When a string has overflowed at exactly a
newline, an empty line is printed since the pointer hasn't reached the
overflow mark of the seq_buf. Switch to just check if the string is
already empty and only print if not.

The only caller is the memory cgroup OOM report, so this could only ever
add a blank line to a report whose statistics already did not fit.

Add a test that registers a console to count the records that
seq_buf_do_printk() emits. It counts the records carrying the test's
marker, and the records holding nothing but a line feed that arrive
after one, so that unrelated kernel messages do not disturb it. Both
states that reach the flaw are covered: exactly full, and overflowed.

Tests passed under qemu on ARCH=x86_64 with GCC 16.2.0 and CONFIG_KASAN=y,
and on big-endian ARCH=s390 with GCC s390x-linux-gnu 16.2.0.
