Subject: [PATCH 4/4] jbd: use a single printk for jbd_debug()

Backport of jbd2 commit 169f1a2a87aae44034da4b9f81be1683d33de6d0
("jbd2: use a single printk for jbd_debug()")

Quoting the original:
 --------------
 Since the jbd_debug() is implemented with two separate printk()
 calls, it can lead to corrupted and misleading debug output like
 the following (see lines marked with "*"):

 [  290.339362] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 203): kjournald2: kjournald2 wakes
 [  290.339365] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 155): kjournald2: commit_sequence=42103, commit_request=42104
 [  290.339369] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 158): kjournald2: OK, requests differ
 [* 290.339376] (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 648): jbd2_log_wait_commit:
 [* 290.339379] (fs/jbd2/commit.c, 370): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: want 42104, j_commit_sequence=42103
 [* 290.339382] JBD2: starting commit of transaction 42104
 [  290.339410] (fs/jbd2/revoke.c, 566): jbd2_journal_write_revoke_records: Wrote 0 revoke records
 [  290.376555] (fs/jbd2/commit.c, 1088): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: commit 42104 complete, head 42079

 i.e. the debug output from log_wait_commit and journal_commit_transaction
 have become interleaved.  The output should have been:

 (fs/jbd2/journal.c, 648): jbd2_log_wait_commit: JBD2: want 42104, j_commit_sequence=42103
 (fs/jbd2/commit.c, 370): jbd2_journal_commit_transaction: JBD2: starting commit of transaction 42104

 It is expected that this is not easy to replicate -- I was only able
 to cause it on preempt-rt kernels, and even then only under heavy
 I/O load.
