Ideally, this section should be something like below
so the !CONFIG_EXT4_DEBUG case still verifies that
the format and argument types match.

This can help avoid people adding debug statements but
not compiling with the proper CONFIG_<foo> variable set.

---

#ifdef CONFIG_EXT4_DEBUG
extern ushort ext4_mballoc_debug;

#define mb_debug(n, fmt, ...)					\
do {								\
	if ((n) <= ext4_mballoc_debug)				\
		pr_debug(fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__);			\
	}							\
} while (0)
#else
#define mb_debug(n, fmt, ...)					\
	no_printk(KERN_DEBUG fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#endif
