[PATCH] befs (5/5): debugging code cleanup

[Sergey S. Kostyliov]

- Reduce stack usage.
- Kill useless duplication of error and warning messages when debug is on. Old
	behaviour was:
...
BeFS(hda1): ---> befs_fill_super()
BeFS(hda1): No write support. Marking filesystem read-only
BeFS(hda1): No write support. Marking filesystem read-only
...
