Subject: Re: [PATCH, v5] 9p: don't print IS_ERR strings

NAK - the print is a debug to mark function entry when debugging is on
-- it is not intended to show only success.  If an erroneous s will
cause the print to break then perhaps it should be parameterized, but
the entire print shouldn't be pushed inside the if statement.
