Subject: [PATCH 0/3] jfs: logging neatening

This patchset fixes the uses of jfs_info, jfs_warn and jfs_err that
have terminating newlines and a couple other trivialities to make
the logging a bit more consistent.

There is a difference in use between jfs_error and the other
jfs_info, jfs_warn, and jfs_err logging macros.  jfs_error is more
like the rest of the kernel and requires a newline as the last
character of the format.

The jfs_info, jfs_warn, and jfs_err macros add the terminating
newline to the format so the uses do not require them.

It is a habituated style for many people to add the terminating
newline for many people and this difference in use between the
various macro styles causes trivial defects in logging output.

It might be better if the jfs_info, jfs_warn, and jfs_err macros
were changed to require a newline termination and the uses changed
to include the newline, but that's a larger change.

Joe Perches (3):
  jfs: Remove terminating newlines from jfs_info, jfs_warn, jfs_err uses
  jfs: Remove unnecessary line continuations and terminating newlines
  jfs: Coalesce some formats
