Following David Laight's suggestion, simplify the macro definitions by
removing the unnecessary 'fmt' argument and using no_printk(__VA_ARGS__)
directly.

Verification with .lst files under -O2 confirms that the compiler
successfully performs "dead code elimination". Even when variables
(like char buf[] in nfsfh.c) or static helper functions (like
nlmdbg_cookie2a() in svclock.c) are declared without #ifdef, they are
completely optimized out (no stack allocation, no symbol references in
the final executable) as they are only referenced within no_printk().

v2:
 - Follow reversed xmas tree order for variables in svc_rdma_transport.c
   as requested by Andy Shevchenko.
 - Polish commit message: use dprintk() and remove redundant file list.
 - Correct the technical claim about dprintk() type checking.
