[PATCH] vmcore-dmesg: Collect full dmesg regardless of logged_chars

logged_chars would be set to 0 by `dmesg -c`, but full dmesg is useful
for debugging. So instead of using logged_chars directly, we calculate
it by ourselves.
Now logged_chars is set to the minimum of log_end and log_buf_len, as
the same logic as crash utility is using.
