x86/dumpstack: Print stack identifier on its own line
show_trace_log_lvl() prints the stack id (e.g. "<IRQ>") without a newline so that any stack address printed after it will appear on the same line. That causes the first stack address to be vertically misaligned with the rest, making it visually cluttered and slightly confusing: Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff814431c3>] dump_stack+0x86/0xc3 [<ffffffff8100828b>] perf_callchain_kernel+0x14b/0x160 [<ffffffff811e915f>] get_perf_callchain+0x15f/0x2b0 ... <EOI> [<ffffffff8189c6c3>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x33/0x60 [<ffffffff810e1c84>] finish_task_switch+0xb4/0x250 [<ffffffff8106f7dc>] do_async_page_fault+0x2c/0xa0 It will look worse once we start printing pt_regs registers found in the middle of the stack: <IRQ> RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8189c6c3>] [<ffffffff8189c6c3>] _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x33/0x60 RSP: 0018:ffff88007876f720 EFLAGS: 00000206 RAX: ffff8800786caa40 RBX: ffff88007d5da140 RCX: 0000000000000007 ... Improve readability by adding a newline to the stack name: Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffff814431c3>] dump_stack+0x86/0xc3 [<ffffffff8100828b>] perf_callchain_kernel+0x14b/0x160 [<ffffffff811e915f>] get_perf_callchain+0x15f/0x2b0 ... <EOI> [<ffffffff8189c6c3>] ? _raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x33/0x60 [<ffffffff810e1c84>] finish_task_switch+0xb4/0x250 [<ffffffff8106f7dc>] do_async_page_fault+0x2c/0xa0 Now that "continued" lines are no longer needed, we can also remove the hack of using the empty string (aka KERN_CONT) and replace it with KERN_DEFAULT.
