[PATCH 1/2] drm: Only #define DEBUG if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is disabled

From: Michel Dänzer <michel.daenzer at amd.com>

The following cases are possible for pr_debug():

1. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG disabled
   a) DEBUG not defined: pr_debug() translates to no_printk(...), i.e.
      it never generates any output.
   b) DEBUG defined: pr_debug() translates to printk(KERN_DEBUG ...),
      i.e. it generates output which doesn't appear in dmesg by default,
      can be enabled dynamically.

2. CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled: pr_debug() translates to
   dynamic_pr_debug()
   a) DEBUG not defined: dynamic_pr_debug() generates no output by
      default, can be enabled dynamically.
   b) DEBUG defined: dynamic_pr_debug() generates output by default,
      can be disabled dynamically.

The intention for drm_debug_printer() is to generate output which
doesn't appear in dmesg by default, but can be enabled dynamically, i.e.
cases 1b) and 2a). However, defining DEBUG unconditionally gave us 2b)
instead of 2a) with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG enabled.
