Currently, the trace_printk code chooses which static buffer to use based
on what type of atomic context (NMI, IRQ, etc) it's in. Simplify the
code and make it more robust: simply count the nesting depth and choose
a buffer based on the current nesting depth.
The new code will only drop an event if we nest more than 4 deep,
and the old code was guaranteed to malfunction if that happened.
