The patch is intended to avoid to perform any operation including
calculation of log function arguments when the log is not enabled due to
various reasons.

Functions qemu_log and qemu_log_mask are replaced with variadic macros.

Format checking performed by compiler will not suffer by this patch. It
will be done inside in fprintf arguments checking.

Have you encountered a place that was calling them so hard that it
caused performance problem?  If so, the logging should probably be
replaced by a tracepoint.

inline functions can have side-effects, i.e. the arguments of them
can be evaluated depending on the compiler. with this approach
we are sure that this will not happen, ever.
