Maybe I'm missing something, but looks like the this new format, while
simpler and easier to read, doesn't have support for using a more
complicated C expression as a printk argument.  For example:

	TP_printk("dev %s ino %lu mode %d uid %u gid %u blocks %llu",
		  jbd2_dev_to_name(__entry->dev), __entry->ino, __entry->mode,
		  __entry->uid, __entry->gid, __entry->blocks)

How should I handle the "jbd2_dev_to_name(__entry->dev)" argument to
TP_printk?  The whole point of calling jbd2_dev_to_name() at TP_printk
time is to not bloat the ring buffer with a 32 byte devname.
