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.
