Each line with single pr_cont() in Virtual kernel memory layout,
or the dump of the kernel memory layout in dmesg is not aligned
when PRINTK_TIME enabled, due to the missing time stamps.

Interestingly, for me it only occurs when running dmesg, and not when
observing the output from the console directly.

After check the util-linux, find this commit(b45c3da2e1581 tags/v2.26-rc2~86)

commit b45c3da2e15814ca0c5b2ed2608de34df60af4da
Author: Ingo Br<C3><BC>ckl <ib@wupperonline.de>
Date:   Wed Jan 14 19:36:55 2015 +0100

    dmesg: Enable proper indent for messages containing line breaks

    Messages containing line breaks somehow look broken when additional time,
    facility or level information is displayed, because they partly appear in
    time/facility/level column.

    Indent them accordingly.

After with this patch, the dmesg shows below,
