Use pr_fmt to prefix KBUILD_MODNAME to appropriate logging messages.

Remove now unnecessary internal prefixes from formats.

Use the more current logging style.

Coalesce formats, align arguments.
Convert uses of embedded function names to %s, __func__.

A couple of long line checkpatch errors I don't care about exist.

<title>jffs2: Convert most D1/D2 macros to jffs2_dbg</title>

D1 and D2 macros are mostly uses to emit debugging messages.

Convert the logging uses of D1 &amp; D2 to jffs2_dbg(level, fmt, ...)
to be a bit more consistent style with the rest of the kernel.

All jffs2_dbg output is now at KERN_DEBUG where some of
the previous uses were emitted at various KERN_&lt;LEVEL&gt;s.

We're about to call this from a bunch of places which already hold
c-&gt;erase_completion_lock, so add an assertion and change its existing
callers to do the same.

<title>[JFFS2] force the jffs2 GC daemon to behave a bit better</title>

I've noticed some pretty poor behavior on OLPC machines after bootup, when
gdm/X are starting.  The GCD monopolizes the scheduler (which in turns
means it gets to do more nand i/o), which results in processes taking much
much longer than they should to start.

As an example, on an OLPC machine going from OFW to a usable X (via
auto-login gdm) takes 2m 30s.  The majority of this time is consumed by
the switch into graphical mode.  With this patch, we cut a full 60s off of
bootup time.  After bootup, things are much snappier as well.

Note that we have seen a CRC node error with this patch that causes the machine
to fail to boot, but we've also seen that problem without this patch.

The thread_should_wake() function trawls through the list of 'very
dirty' eraseblocks, determining whether the background GC thread should
wake. Doing this without holding the appropriate locks is a bad idea.
