kernel/async.c: stop guarding pr_debug() statements
It's currently nigh impossible to get these pr_debug()s to print something. Being guarded by initcall_debug means one has to enable tons of other debug output during boot, and the system_state condition further means it's impossible to get them when loading modules later. Also, the compiler can't know that these global conditions do not change, so there are W=2 warnings kernel/async.c:125:9: warning: `calltime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] kernel/async.c:300:9: warning: `starttime' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized] Make it possible, for a DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, to get these to print their messages by booting with appropriate 'dyndbg="file async.c +p"' command line argument. For a non-DYNAMIC_DEBUG kernel, pr_debug() compiles to nothing. This does cost doing an unconditional ktime_get() for the starttime value, but the corresponding ktime_get for the end time can be elided by factoring it into a function which only gets called if the printk() arguments end up being evaluated.
