[PATCH v2 2/3] use pointer arithmetics for dump_dmesg
When parsing the printk buffer for the old printk mechanism (> v3.5.0+ and
< 5.10.0) a log entry is currently specified by the offset into the
buffer where the entry starts. Change this to use a pointers instead.
This is done in preparation for using the new cycle detection mechanism.
