printk: ringbuffer: change representation of states
Rather than deriving the state by evaluating bits within the flags area of the state variable, assign the states explicit values and set those values in the flags area. Introduce macros to make it simple to read and write state values for the state variable. Although the functionality is preserved, the binary representation for the states is changed.
