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.
