printk: do not preliminary split up cont buffer



We have a proper 'overflow' check which tells us that we need to
split up existing cont buffer in separate records:

	if (cont.len + len > sizeof(cont.buf))
		cont_flush();

At the same time we also have one extra flush: "if cont buffer is
80% full then split it up" in cont_add():

	if (cont.len > (sizeof(cont.buf) * 80) / 100)
		cont_flush();

This looks to be redundant, since the existing "overflow" check
should work just fine, so remove this 80% check and wait for either
a normal cont termination \n, for preliminary flush due to
possible buffer overflow or for preliminary flush due to cont race.
