Subject[PATCH 11/13] drm_print: prefer bare printk KERN_DEBUG on generic fn
Date
drm_print.c calls pr_debug() just once, from __drm_printfn_debug(),
which is a generic/service fn. The callsite is compile-time enabled
by DEBUG in both DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y/n builds.

For dyndbg builds, reverting this callsite back to bare printk is
correcting a few anti-features:

1- callsite is generic, serves multiple drm users.
its hardwired on currently
could accidentally: #> echo -p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control

2- optional "decorations" by dyndbg are unhelpful/misleading
they describe only the generic site, not end users

IOW, 1,2 are unhelpful at best, and possibly confusing.

reverting yields a nominal data and text shrink:

text data bss dec hex filename

NB: this was noticed using _drm_debug_enabled(), added earlier.
