Some arch configs (like ppc64) enable CONFIG_PRINTK_CALLER,
which adds the caller id as part of the dmesg. With recent
util-linux's update 467a5b3192f16 ('dmesg: add caller_id support')
the standard "dmesg" has been enhanced to print PRINTK_CALLER fields.

Due to this, even though the expected vs observed are same,
end testcase results are failed.

Currently the check_result() handles the "[time]" removal from
the dmesg. Enhance the check to also handle removal of "[Thread Id]"
or "[CPU Id]".
