Savinay Dharmappa 0106059ff0 subsys: logging: event_logger: Fix CPU fault
A CPU fault occurs when sys_k_event_logger_get_wait()
api invoked with config KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER_THREAD
enabled.

sys_k_event_logger_get_wait() supposed to pend  on a
semaphore when all the events from kernel event logger
are read.But when sys_k_event_logger_get_wait() inovked
with config KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER_THREAD(i.e captures thread
events) subsquent call inside this function will write to
kernel event log buffer to capture pend event.This will
release the semaphore on which sys_k_event_logger_get_wait()
was pending hence thread gets unpend before swap gets called.

Which in other words a thread which is invoking
sys_k_event_logger_get_wait()(i. e sem_count = 0) get pends
and unpends in single function flow when KERNEL_EVENT_LOGGER_THREAD
enabled.

This would cause overlapping of the stack address where
return address of "_pend_current_thread" stored with esp of
callee saved(i. e thread->callee_saved.esp). Thus return adrress
of "_pend_current_thread" would be overwitten with zero. Which
in turn causes CPU fault.

The thread invoking sys_k_event_logger_get_wait() supposed
to only read the events of the threads which logged to kernel event
logger buffer. But it should not write to kernel event logger
buffer. Otherwise it would cause the race condition explained above.
