From: "Paul E. McKenney" <pau...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Although the C language allows you to break strings across lines, doing
this makes it hard for people to find the Linux kernel code corresponding
to a given console message. This commit therefore fixes broken strings
throughout RCU's source code.

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.m...@linaro.org>

The Linux kernel coding style says that single-statement blocks should
omit curly braces unless the other leg of the "if" statement has
multiple statements, in which case the curly braces should be included.
This commit fixes RCU's violations of this rule.

The formatting would frustrate most people trying to grep for the
debugfs output anyway, though.

But the main reason for the change is that it makes it easier to see
which quantity goes with which sprintf() format specifier. (Lazy and
self-indulgent, I know!!!)

Well, but if it's exceedingly long in the editor then it's
probably exceedingly long in the syslog as well and need fixing,
right?

Or it's printed inside some exceedingly deep nested block of
code, which too could use improvement, right?

Thanks,
