printk: use also the last bytes in the ring buffer
It seems that we have newer used the last byte in the ring buffer. In fact, we have newer used the last 4 bytes because of padding. First problem is in the check for free space. The exact number of free bytes is enough to store the length of data. Second problem is in the check where the ring buffer is rotated. The left side counts the first unused index. It is unused, so it might be the same as the size of the buffer. Note that the first problem has to be fixed together with the second one. Otherwise, the buffer is rotated even when there is enough space on the end of the buffer. Then the beginning of the buffer is rewritten and valid entries get corrupted.
