Subject: [PATCH RFC 4/5] printk: add ns_printk for specific syslog_ns

From: Rui Xiang <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:17:34 +0800

From: Libo Chen <[email-masked]>

In some context such as iptable, we can not get correct syslog_ns by
current_syslog_ns, because we get init_syslog_ns instead of syslog_ns
belonged to container.

We add a new interface ns_printk,and give it an parameter syslog_ns.
