arm64: fix show_regs fallout from KERN_CONT changes 

Recently in commit 4bcc595ccd ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for
printing continuation lines"), the behaviour of printk changed w.r.t.
KERN_CONT. Now, KERN_CONT is mandatory to continue existing lines.
Without this, prefixes are inserted, making output illegible, e.g.

[ 1007.069010] pc : [<ffff00000871898c>] lr : [<ffff000008718948>] pstate: 40000145
[ 1007.076329] sp : ffff000008d53ec0
[ 1007.079606] x29: ffff000008d53ec0 [ 1007.082797] x28: 0000000080c50018
[ 1007.086160]
[ 1007.087630] x27: ffff000008e0c7f8 [ 1007.090820] x26: ffff80097631ca00

... or when dumped with the userpace dmesg tool, which has slightly
different implicit newline behaviour. e.g.

[ 1007.069010] pc : [<ffff00000871898c>] lr : [<ffff000008718948>] pstate: 40000145

We can't simply always use KERN_CONT for lines which may or may not be
continuations. That causes line prefixes (e.g. timestamps) to be
supressed, and the alignment of all but the first line will be broken.

For even more fun, we can't simply insert some dummy empty-string printk
calls, as GCC warns for an empty printk string, and even if we pass
KERN_DEFAULT explcitly to silence the warning, the prefix gets swallowed
unless there is an additional part to the string.

Instead, we must manually iterate over pairs of registers, which gives
us the legible output we want in either case, e.g.
