[PATCH] cred: Remove unnecessary kdebug atomic reads

From: Joe Perches
Date: Tue Aug 25 2015 - 12:53:59 EST


commit e0e817392b9a ("CRED: Add some configurable debugging [try #6]")
added the kdebug mechanism to this file back in 2009.

The kdebug macro calls no_printk which always evaluates arguments.

Most of the kdebug uses have an unnecessary call of
atomic_read(&cred->usage)

Make the kdebug macro do nothing by defining it with
do { if (0) no_printk(...); } while (0)
when not enabled.

$ size kernel/cred.o* (defconfig x86-64)
text data bss dec hex filename
2748 336 8 3092 c14 kernel/cred.o.new
2788 336 8 3132 c3c kernel/cred.o.old

Miscellanea:
o Neaten the #define kdebug macros while there
