It might have been (and may still be) simpler/better
to use a single macro like:

#define jbd_dbg(n, fmt, ...)			\
do {						\
	if ((n) < journal_enable_debug)		\
		pr_debug(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__);	\
} while (0)

and then use dynamic_debug to add the __func__,
and __LINE__ when desired.

echo -n 'module jbd +pfl' <dynamic_debug>/control
