From: Joseph Salisbury <joseph.salisbury@microsoft.com>
commit 77b48bea2fee47c15a835f6725dd8df0bc38375a upstream.
When the kernel panics, one page of kmsg data may be collected and sent to Hyper-V to aid in diagnosing the failure. The collected kmsg data typically contains 50 to 100 lines, each of which has a log level prefix that isn't very useful from a diagnostic standpoint. So tell kmsg_dump_get_buffer() to not include the log level, enabling more information that *is* useful to fit in the page.
Requesting in stable kernels, since many kernels running in production are stable releases.
