André Draszik d6c9708737 scripts/gdb: make lx-dmesg command work (reliably)
lx-dmesg needs access to the log_buf symbol from printk.c.
Unfortunately, the symbol log_buf also exists in BPF's verifier.c and
hence gdb can pick one or the other.  If it happens to pick BPF's
log_buf, lx-dmesg doesn't work:

  (gdb) lx-dmesg
  Python Exception <class 'gdb.MemoryError'> Cannot access memory at address 0x0:
  Error occurred in Python command: Cannot access memory at address 0x0
  (gdb) p log_buf
  $15 = 0x0

Luckily, GDB has a way to deal with this, see
  https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Symbols.html

  (gdb) info variables ^log_buf$
  All variables matching regular expression "^log_buf$":

  File <linux.git>/kernel/bpf/verifier.c:
  static char *log_buf;

  File <linux.git>/kernel/printk/printk.c:
  static char *log_buf;
  (gdb) p 'verifier.c'::log_buf
  $1 = 0x0
  (gdb) p 'printk.c'::log_buf
  $2 = 0x811a6aa0 <__log_buf> ""
  (gdb) p &log_buf
  $3 = (char **) 0x8120fe40 <log_buf>
  (gdb) p &'verifier.c'::log_buf
  $4 = (char **) 0x8120fe40 <log_buf>
  (gdb) p &'printk.c'::log_buf
  $5 = (char **) 0x8048b7d0 <log_buf>

By being explicit about the location of the symbol, we can make lx-dmesg
work again.  While at it, do the same for the other symbols we need from
printk.c
