Logger processes the messages asynchronously

See description of the problem in previous commit and detailed
description in the diff (write_to_log() function).

MinixFS uses standard logging interface (BROKEN)

Using logger from inside a file system driver revealed a deadlock and
so this revision will not work when debugging is turned on inside mfs.

The deadlock is probably somewhere in VFS and is caused by following
chain of events:
 * VFS asks MFS to mount some block device (backed by file on FAT)
 * MFS sends a debug message to the logger
 * logger accepts the message and prints it to the console
 * logger also wants to print that message to the file /log/mfs (on FAT)
 * logger tries to open that file and there it fails
   (if writing to a file is commented out in the logger, all works well)

Summary is that one cannot write to a file while mount is in progress.

Possible solutions:
 * break the lock in VFS & co. into smaller ones
   (I am not sure whether this is possible at all)
 * make logger asynchronous - i.e. copy the messages to some internal
   queue and process them later
   (note that simply not waiting for answer in log_msg() does not work)

Add no-op log_destroy() for destroying logs

The implementation will be added later, currently it exists only for
symmetry to log_create().
