printk: allow setting DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL via Kconfig
We've been burned by regressions/bugs which we later realized could have been triaged quicker if only we'd paid closer attention to dmesg. To make it easier to audit dmesg, we'd like to make DEFAULT_MESSAGE_LEVEL Kconfig-settable. That way we can set it to KERN_NOTICE and audit any messages <= KERN_WARNING.
