Subject: [PATCH] Remove deprecated print_mac to fix warnings

Remove deprecated and unused print_mac to fix warnings

There seems to be no user in tree of print_mac left. So just remove it.

This eliminates two compiler warnings for every build, because gcc
complains about the deprecated use of the symbol in its EXPORT_SYMBOL.
