pstore: Move kmsg_bytes default into Kconfig
While kmsg_bytes can be set for pstore via mount, if a crash occurs before the mount only partial console log will be stored as kmsg_bytes defaults to a potentially different hardcoded value in the kernel (PSTORE_DEFAULT_KMSG_BYTES). This makes it impossible to analyze valuable post-mortem data especially on the embedded development or in the process of bringing up new boards. Change this value to be a Kconfig option with the default of old PSTORE_DEFAULT_KMSG_BYTES Signed-off-by: Vasile-Laurentiu Stanimir <vasile-laurentiu.stanimir@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
