printk/nmi: increase the size of NMI buffer and make it configurable

Testing has shown that the backtrace sometimes does not fit into the 4kB
temporary buffer that is used in NMI context.  The warnings are gone
when I double the temporary buffer size.

This patch doubles the buffer size and makes it configurable.

Note that this problem existed even in the x86-specific implementation
that was added by the commit a9edc880 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI
stack trace on all CPUs").  Nobody noticed it because it did not print
any warnings.

Select the size of a per-CPU buffer where NMI messages are temporary
stored. They are copied to the main log buffer in a safe context
to avoid a deadlock. The value defines the size as a power of 2.
NMI messages are rare and limited. The largest one is when
a backtrace is printed. It usually fits into 4KB. Select
8KB if you want to be on the safe side.
Examples:
17 => 128 KB for each CPU
16 => 64 KB for each CPU
15 => 32 KB for each CPU
14 => 16 KB for each CPU
13 => 8 KB for each CPU
12 => 4 KB for each CPU
