Subject[PATCH 4.19 regression fix] printk: For early boot messages check loglevel when flushing the buffer
Date
Commit 375899cddcbb ("printk: make sure to print log on console."), moved
the checking of the loglevel of messages from flush time to the actual
log time.

This introduces one problem, some early boot messages are printed before
parse_early_param() gets called and thus before kernel commandline options
such as quiet, loglevel and ignore_loglevel are parsed.

This causes e.g. the following messages to get printed on x86 systems,
despite the presence of the "quiet" option:

[ 0.000000] BIOS-provided physical RAM map:
[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x0000000000057fff] usable
...
[ 0.000000] BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x0000000874ffffff] usable

This commit fixes this by setting a new LOG_CHK_LEVEL on early boot
messages and doing the loglevel check for these while flushing as before.
