Vincent's patch commented on, and worked around, a bug toggling
static_branch's, when a 2nd PRINTK-ish flag was added. The bug
results in a premature static_branch_disable when the 1st of 2 flags
was disabled.

The cited commit computed newflags, but then in the JUMP_LABEL block,
failed to use that result, instead using just one of the terms in it.
Using newflags instead made the code work properly.

This is Vincents test-case, reduced. It needs the 2nd flag to
demonstrate the bug, but it's explanatory here.

pt_test() {
echo 5 > /sys/module/dynamic_debug/verbose

site="module tcp" # just one callsite
echo " $site =_ " > /proc/dynamic_debug/control # clear it

# A B ~A ~B
for flg in +T +p "-T #broke here" -p; do
echo " $site $flg " > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
done;

# A B ~B ~A
for flg in +T +p "-p #broke here" -T; do
echo " $site $flg " > /proc/dynamic_debug/control
done
}
