Looks fine, but I'd probably prefer to just get rid of CIFS_DEBUG
altogether here and replace it with CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG.

While you're at it, /proc/fs/cifs/cifsFYI should probably not be
present when CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG isn't set. Perhaps we should also
disable traceSMB and its related functions too in that case?
