[PATCH -next] mm/hotplug: silence a lockdep splat with printk()

From: Qian Cai
Date: Tue Jan 14 2020 - 15:11:31 EST


Similar to the recent commit [1] merged into the random and -next trees,
it is not a good idea to call printk() with zone->lock held. The
standard fix is to use printk_deferred() in those places, but memory
offline will call dump_page() which need to defer after the lock. While
at it, remove a similar but unnecessary debug printk() as well.
