In exteme case vmcore-dmesg will overflow. upstream has fixed the
some problem. so simply backport it

Subject: [PATCH] vmcore-dmesg stack smashing happend in extreme case
Description
in dump_dmesg_structured() the out_buf size is 4096, and if the
length is less than 4080( 4096-16 ) it won't really write out.
Normally, after writing one or four chars to the out_buf, it will
check the length of out_buf. But in extreme cases, 19 chars was
written to the out_buf before checking the length. This may cause
the stack corruption. If the length was 4079 (won't realy write out),
and then write 19 chars to it. the out_buf will overflow.
Solution
Change 16 to 64 thus can make sure that always have 64bytes before
moving to next records. why using 64 is that a long long int can take
20 bytes. so the length of timestamp can be 44 ('[','.',']',' ') in
extreme case.
