revive kmsg channel if closed

[daveoy]

would like to start a conversation around revival of closed kmsg channels.

#1004 supplies a recovery mechanism which, when configured in the plugin's config, will revive a closed kmsg channel.

i have observed that the channel to /dev/kmsg can be closed unexpectedly in a couple of scenarios:

• when a daemonset rollout is being performed on a node under high load, and
• during regular operation when a node is experiencing extremely high load

#1004 could potentially use some improvement, if anyone has any better ideas. what im trying to avoid is re-initializing the conditions set by the watcher.
