hmmm...yeah, some macro magic in include/linux/dynamic_debug.h converts
the 'fmt' arg into a series of strings. It doesn't look as pretty in the
dynamic debug control file:

crypto/zlib.c:333 [zlib]zlib_decompress_final - "\042%s: \042
\042avail_in %u, avail_out %u (consumed %u, produced %u)\n\042,
__func__"

with all those '\042' there, which are the '"' characters, but we
probably could live with it.

patch below.

thanks,
