It should compile (I'd need to see the diff to figure out why it fails
to compile in your case), but not necessarily do what you want.
When you use #undef/#define to redefine a macro the new definition
applies to everything that uses it in the code *after* the
point it's been redefined. One problem I can think of (but there
probably are others) is when some intermediate header files use
pr_xxx() inside macros/inline functions. In this case, you probably
want the prefix to be applied and that can only be done if you've
defined your own pr_fmt() before including printk.h.

Another reason to define pr_fmt() before including printk.h is that it
requires one line instead of 2 if you go for the #undef/#define
solution.
