DBG_ERR() has a trailing semicolon in it's definition, so if you add
another one when you invoke it there will be two ";;".

This whole code base is such a mess, I really think there is little
to no value in trying to make minor changes here.

So unless you are fixing some kind of exploitable hole, please drop
this.

Thank you.
