Subject: [PATCH 5.15 071/171] scsi: qla2xxx: Format log strings only if needed

From: Roman Bolshakov <r.bolshakov@...ro.com>

commit 69002c8ce914ef0ae22a6ea14b43bb30b9a9a6a8 upstream.

Commit 598a90f2002c ("scsi: qla2xxx: add ring buffer for tracing debug
logs") introduced unconditional log string formatting to ql_dbg() even if
ql_dbg_log event is disabled. It harms performance because some strings are
formatted in fastpath and/or interrupt context.
