The __maybe_unused attributes are no longer needed because dprintk()
now uses no_printk(), which ensures variables are referenced by the
compiler even when debugging is disabled.
Some commit message improvements are needed:

This revert is safe only because ("sunrpc: Fix dprintk type mismatch
using do-while(0)") already changed the non-debug dfprintk path to use
no_printk(__VA_ARGS__). The commit message doesn't reference that
enabling commit by SHA or subject. If this revert is cherry-picked or
backported without that pre-requisite, the W=1 build warning returns
silently.

The commit message says "dprintk() now uses no_printk()", but this is
true only for the !CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG path. When CONFIG_SUNRPC_DEBUG is
enabled, dfprintk expands inode directly via __sunrpc_printk, not
through no_printk.
