This adds options to printbuf for specifying whether units should be
printed raw (default) or with human readable units, and for controlling
whether human-readable units should be base 2 (default), or base 10.
This also adds new helpers that obey these options:
- pr_human_readable_u64
- pr_human_readable_s64
These obey printbuf->si_units
- pr_units_u64
- pr_units_s64
These obey both printbuf-human_readable_units and printbuf->si_units

This patch adds two new features to printbuf for structured formatting:
- Indent level: the indent level, as a number of spaces, may be
increased with pr_indent_add() and decreased with pr_indent_sub().
Subsequent lines, when started with pr_newline() (not "\n", although
that may change) will then be intended according to the current
indent level. This helps with pretty-printers that structure a large
amonut of data across multiple lines and multiple functions.
- Tabstops: Tabstops may be set by assigning to the printbuf->tabstops
array.
Then, pr_tab() may be used to advance to the next tabstop, printing
as many spaces as required - leaving previous output left justified
to the previous tabstop. pr_tab_rjust() advances to the next tabstop
but inserts the spaces just after the previous tabstop - right
justifying the previously-outputted text to the next tabstop.

This makes printbufs optionally heap allocated: a printbuf initialized
with the PRINTBUF initializer will automatically heap allocate and
resize as needed.
Allocations are done with GFP_KERNEL: code should use e.g.
memalloc_nofs_save()/restore() as needed. Since we do not currently have
memalloc_nowait_save()/restore(), in contexts where it is not safe to
block we provide the helpers
printbuf_atomic_inc()
printbuf_atomic_dec()
When the atomic count is nonzero, memory allocations will be done with
GFP_NOWAIT.
On memory allocation failure, output will be truncated. Code that wishes
to check for memory allocation failure (in contexts where we should
return -ENOMEM) should check if printbuf->allocation_failure is set.
Since printbufs are expected to be typically used for log messages and
on a best effort basis, we don't return errors directly.
Other helpers provided by this patch:
- printbuf_make_room(buf, extra)
Reallocates if necessary to make room for @extra bytes (not including
terminating null).
- printbuf_str(buf)
Returns a null terminated string equivalent to the contents of @buf.
If @buf was never allocated (or allocation failed), returns a
constant empty string.
- printbuf_exit(buf)
Releases memory allocated by a printbuf.

This adds printbufs: a printbuf points to a char * buffer and knows the
size of the output buffer as well as the current output position.
Future patches will be adding more features to printbuf, but initially
printbufs are targeted at refactoring and improving our existing code in
lib/vsprintf.c - so this initial printbuf patch has the features
required for that.
