pstore: use mount option instead sysfs to tweak kmsg_bytes

/sys/fs is a somewhat strange way to tweak what could more
obviously be tuned with a mount option.

+               The 'kmsg_bytes' mount option changes the target amount of
+               data saved on each oops/panic. Pstore saves (possibly

+               persistent storage until at least this amount is reached.
+               Default is 10 Kbytes.
