Right, makes sense: that's more consistent with other functions
doing the same thing. Thanks for taking a look.

Subject: [PATCH] sunrpc: don't warn for unused variable 'buf'

When RPC_DEBUG is unset, the dprintk() macro does nothing,
causing the 'buf' variable in svc_printk to become unused.
Enclosing it in RPC_IFDEBUG avoids a harmless gcc warning.

Without this patch, building at91_dt_defconfig results in:

net/sunrpc/svc.c: In function 'svc_printk':
net/sunrpc/svc.c:1051:7: warning: unused variable 'buf' [-Wunused-variable]
