Currently, pr_debug and pr_devel will not elide function call arguments
appearing in calls to no_printk for these macros. This is because all
side effects must be honored before proceeding to the 0-value assignment
in no_printk.

The behavior is contrary to documentation found in the CodingStyle and
header file where these functions are declared. 

This patch corrects that behavior by shunting out the call to no_printk
completely. The format string is still checked by gcc for correctness, but
no code seems to be emitted in common cases.

fixes commit 5264f2f75d86 ("include/linux/printk.h: use and neaten
no_printk")
