drm_print: prefer bare printk KERN_DEBUG on generic fn



drm_print.c calls pr_debug() just once, from __drm_printfn_debug(),
which is a generic/service fn.  The callsite is compile-time enabled
by DEBUG in both DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y/n builds.

For dyndbg builds, reverting this callsite back to bare printk is
correcting a few anti-features:

1- callsite is generic, serves multiple drm users.
   it is soft-wired on currently by #define DEBUG
   could accidentally: #> echo -p > /proc/dynamic_debug/control

2- optional "decorations" by dyndbg are unhelpful/misleading here,
   they describe only the generic site, not end users

IOW, 1,2 are unhelpful at best, and possibly confusing.

reverting yields a nominal data and text shrink:

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
 462583   36604   54592 553779   87333 /kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
