Add a space (' ') prefix to every userdata line to match docs for
dev-kmsg. To account for this extra character in each userdata entry,
reduce userdata entry names (directory name) from 54 characters to 53.
According to the dev-kmsg docs, a space is used for subsequent lines to
mark them as continuation lines.
> A line starting with ' ', is a continuation line, adding
> key/value pairs to the log message, which provide the machine
> readable context of the message, for reliable processing in
> userspace.
Testing for this patch::
cd /sys/kernel/config/netconsole && mkdir cmdline0
cd cmdline0
mkdir userdata/test && echo "hello" > userdata/test/value
mkdir userdata/test2 && echo "hello2" > userdata/test2/value
echo "message" > /dev/kmsg
Outputs::
6.8.0-rc5-virtme,12,493,231373579,-;message
test=hello
test2=hello2
And I confirmed all testing works as expected from the original patchset

Create a new netconsole runtime option that prepends the kernel version in
the netconsole message. This is useful to map kernel messages to kernel
version in a simple way, i.e., without checking somewhere which kernel
version the host that sent the message is using.
If this option is selected, then the "<release>," is prepended before the
netconsole message. This is an example of a netconsole output, with
release feature enabled:
6.4.0-01762-ga1ba2ffe946e;12,426,112883998,-;this is a test
