printk: add generic functions to find KERN_<LEVEL> headers

The current form of a KERN_<LEVEL> is "<.>".

Add printk_get_level and printk_skip_level functions to handle these
formats.

These functions centralize tests of KERN_<LEVEL> so a future modification
can change the KERN_<LEVEL> style and shorten the number of bytes consumed
by these headers.
