Subject[PATCH 2/5] Add setter/getter interface for kmsg_redirect
Date
To be able to use kmsg_redirect in code when CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE is not set and to avoid
code like

#ifdef CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE
kmsg_redirect = foo;
#endif

we add a function pair vt_get_kmsg_redirect()/vt_set_kmsg_redirect() that just
returns or sets that variable, but is defined to do nothing in case CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE
is not set.
