printk: ringbuffer: fix setting state in desc_read()
It is expected that desc_read() will always set at least the @state_var field. However, if the descriptor is in an inconsistent state, no fields are set. Also, the second load of @state_var is not stored in @desc_out and so might not match the state value that is returned. Always set the last loaded @state_var into @desc_out, regardless of the descriptor consistency.
