printk: add module parameter ignore_loglevel to control ignore_loglevel
We are enabling some power features on medfield. To test suspend-2-RAM
conveniently, we need turn on/off ignore_loglevel frequently without
rebooting.
Add a module parameter, so users can change it by:
/sys/module/printk/parameters/ignore_loglevel
