x86/dumpstack: Add log_lvl to show_iret_regs()
show_trace_log_lvl() provides x86 platform-specific way to unwind
backtrace with a given log level. Unfortunately, registers dump(s) are
not printed with the same log level - instead, KERN_DEFAULT is always
used.
Arista's switches uses quite common setup with rsyslog, where only
urgent messages goes to console (console_log_level=KERN_ERR), everything
else goes into /var/log/ as the console baud-rate often is indecently
slow (9600 bps).
Backtrace dumps without registers printed have proven to be as useful as
morning standups. Furthermore, in order to introduce KERN_UNSUPPRESSED
(which I believe is still the most elegant way to fix raciness of sysrq[1])
the log level should be passed down the stack to register dumping
functions. Besides, there is a potential use-case for printing traces
with KERN_DEBUG level [2] (where registers dump shouldn't appear with
higher log level).
Add log_lvl parameter to show_iret_regs() as a preparation to add it
to __show_regs() and show_regs_if_on_stack().
