[PATCH v9-resend 37/54] drm-print: workaround unused variable compiler meh

With CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y, I'm getting an unused variable
warning/error on 'category', though the usage follows immediately, in
drm_debug_enabled().

This drops the local var and refs the field directly in the
macro-call, which avoids the warning.  For static-key optimized
dyndbg, the macro doesn't actually check the category, since the
static-key patches in the proper state.  This is also likely why the
auto var appears to be unused by the compiler.
