Subject: [PATCH] hexdump: do not print debug dumps for !CONFIG_DEBUG

The function print_hex_dump_debug() is likely supposed to be
analogous to pr_debug() or dev_dbg() & friends. Currently it
will adhere to dynamic debug, but will not stub out prints if
CONFIG_DEBUG is not set. Let's make it do the right thing,
because I am tired of having my dmesg buffer full of hex
dumps on production systems.

Andrew: I think this is your file. I did spend some time
shaking my head thinking this basic thing just can't be wrong,
but it appears it is.
