SG_LOG() degenerates to "{}" in some configs ...

I have used the scsi-mkp tree from next-20210122 for today.

I sent a new patchset to the linux-scsi list about 4 hours ago to
fix that.

I am still getting this build failure.

Hi,
I resent the original patch set, with fixes, against the linux-scsi
list yesterday but that was not the form that Martin Petersen needs
it in. That was against his 5.12/scsi-queue branch which is roughly
lk 5.11.0-rc2. He has referred me to his 5.12/scsi-staging branch
which looks half applied from the 45 patch set that I have been
sending to the linux-scsi list. Trying to find out if that was the
intention or a mistake.

The other issue is a large patchset that removes the first function
argument from blk_execute_rq_nowait() which is used by the sg driver.
