Coalesce the multiple printks to a single printk
without KERN_CONT use at all.
For example: commit 94f05b0f60de32

Yes, though I believe multiline_pr_<level>
isn't particularly valuable.

Generally, emitting complete lines even from the same
module via multiple threads from a single or multiple
cpus can be intelligibly interleaved without issue.
I believe it's the printks that use KERN_CONT and the
printks without terminating newlines that are the
problems that need to be resolved somehow.
