This seems like three very minor changes, but I actually
have something to say about each...

I'll highlight the fact that this was the last caller of
xfs_printk().  As such I think it should just be eliminated,
and make the use of xfs_info() or xfs_debug() mandatory.
They are clean, easy, and have meaningful enough names
that this should be fine.  (What do others think?)

This is a silly white space change, and I guess I don't care
either way.  But I think much of the XFS code tab-aligns
things that wrap to successive lines.

How about:

static inline void
__attribute__ ((format (printf, 2, 3)))
xfs_debug(const struct xfs_mount *mp, const char *fmt, ...)
{
}
