[PATCH 2/2] console: allocate only once instead of twice per log message

[Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>]

We do two allocations for each log message, one for the log message
string itself and another for the struct log_entry referencing it.

We could just make the log message directly follow the log entry and
save the space for the pointer and the time to do a second allocation.

No functional change.
