Linus,

This patch fixes a bug with the recently added printk-times feature.

In the case where a printk consists of only the log level (followed
subsequently by printks with more text for the same line), the
printk-times code doesn't correctly recognize the end of the
string, and starts emitting chars at the 0 byte at the end of the
string.

The patch below fixes this problem.  It also adjusts the handling
of printed_len in the routine, which was affected by the
printk-times feature.

Please apply. Thanks.
