[PATCH 2/2] commands: dmesg: support aborting dmesg output with ctrl-c

dmesg output can get very long, especially if debug messages are
compiled in and the maximum number of retained log messages is
increased.

Therefore, follow what we do for other potentially long-running
commands and allow the user to abort it with ctrl+c.
