ve/printk: Add sanity checks in ve_printk functions

This patch adds a sanity check on the dst argument in the ve_printk
helpers. It also reorders the VE_LOG test so the dst bit is checked
before ve_is_super().

[Severity: Low]
This isn't a bug in the normal case, but is the new WARN_ON_ONCE() safe
in ve_vprintk_deferred()?

This function exists for contexts where the regular printk path is
unsafe, which is why it emits at LOGLEVEL_SCHED through vprintk_emit().
WARN_ON_ONCE() reports through the normal printk and console path. It
can also panic if panic_on_warn is set.

If a caller passes dst == 0 or a dst with bits outside VE_LOG_BOTH from
such a context, could the warning recurse into scheduler or console
locks that the deferred variant is meant to avoid?

I did not find a caller that passes an invalid dst. The trigger would
need a buggy caller, and the warning fires only once.

Would a BUILD_BUG_ON() for constant arguments be more suitable here?
Alternatively, the report could go through a deferred-safe mechanism
such as printk_deferred().
