single statement macros don't need do {} while (0),
and this could be

#define DPRINTK(fmt, args...)					\
	pr_debug("pid %d: %s: " fmt "\n",			\
		 current->pid, __func__, ##__VA_ARGS__)

When using dynamic debug __func__ and pid are unnecessary as
these can be added to any pr_debug output with '+f' and '+t'
so I think those should not be added either.

I think the DPRINTK macro should be removed altogether and
pr_debug should be used instead.
