[NET]: Elminate spurious print_mac() calls.
Patrick McHardy notes that print_mac() can get invoked even if the result it unused (f.e. as an argument to pr_debug() when DEBUG is not defined). Mark this function as "__pure" to eliminate this problem. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
