[PATCH 09/12] staging: lustre: libcfs: discard MKSTR() macro

From: NeilBrown
Date: Tue Dec 12 2017 - 22:17:27 EST


This is only used for tracing when some strings might
be NULL. NULL strings are not a problem for tracing,
vnsprintf() will report them as "(null)" which is probably
better (easier to parse) than an empty string.

Also remove a nearby comment that doesn't relate to the
(remaining) code at all.
