[PATCH] avoid memory allocations in xfs_fs_vcmn_err

[Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org>]

xfs_fs_vcmn_err can be called under a spinlock, but does a sleeping memory
allocation to create buffer for it's internal sprintf.  Fortunately it's
the only caller of icmn_err, so we can merge the two and have one single
static buffer and spinlock protecting it.  While we're at it make sure
we proper __attribute__ format annotations so that the compiler can detect
mismatched format strings.
