Subject: [PATCH] cifs: Rename cERROR and cifserror to cifs_vfs_err

The cERROR macro is always used as cERROR(1, and cifserror
is just a printk(KERN_ERR "CIFS VFS: ".

Make a cifs_vfs_err function that uses the vsprintf %pV
extension to avoid duplicating the "CIFS VFS: " prefix.

Remove the cERROR macro and use cifs_vfs_err directly.

Size is reduced ~ 1% when CONFIG_CIFS_DEBUG is set (default y)

$ size fs/cifs/cifs.ko*
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
 265520	   2525	    132	 268177	  41791	fs/cifs/cifs.ko.new
 268359	   2525	    132	 271016	  422a8	fs/cifs/cifs.ko.old

Other miscellaneous changes around these conversions:

o Miscellaneous typo fixes
o Remove unnecessary terminating \n's
o Remove unnecessary OOM messages as kmalloc() calls dump_stack.
o Coalesce formats to make grep easier,
  added missing spaces when coalescing formats
o Use %s, __func__ instead of embedded function name
o Removed unnecessary "cifs: " prefixes
