Include this in xfs_linux.h rather than here.

Use "func" not xfs_printk here. xfs_printk looks too much like a
real function name (indeed, we already have __xfs_printk) rather
than a macro parameter.

Here's the problem with adding macros that aren't used. xfs_dbg
does not exist - the function is xfs_debug(). The compiler won't
catch that until the macro is used, so only add the macros which are
needed for this patch series.

Cheers,

Dave.
