Upstream:
   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 377143    5689    4352  387184   5e870 drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko

With this patch:
 373831    5689    4352  383872   5db80 drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko

Moving the if outside (below):
 377629    5689    4352  387670   5ea56 drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko

Bye savings..

I don't think there are any places in which the debug output is performance sensitive,
so I'm ok with not inlining.
