I am really nervous about the default case, despite
PRINTK_TIME_UNDEFINED being declared impossible. Either set
printk_get_ts to local_clock for default: (which I prefer), or return
(printk_get_ts != printk_set_timestamp) ? printk_get_ts() : 0; (which at
least prevents the infinite loop).

(I've asked this before) Could we add something like #ifndef
PRINTK_TIME_DEBUG around the following to allow the option to chose for
those that like to 'play' with the value?
