Tiny fio performance bug with debug enabled

Hi, fio hackers:  

Version 285d451f5c3e034463ea49a5ba99e8e0eb1b83a2
(snapshot from yesterday)

Tiny performance tweak with -DFIO_INC_DEBUG enabled but no debug flags specified (the default if building from source):  the dprint macro calls getpid() before checking to see whether or not it's going to actually do anything.  This causes a bit of a slowdown if you've built with debugging but aren't using it.  The fix is to simply swap them:

debug.h:

#define dprint(type, str, args...)                              \
        do {                                                    \
                assert(type < FD_DEBUG_MAX);                    \
                if ((((1 << type)) & fio_debug) == 0)           \
                        break;                                  \
                pid_t pid = getpid();                           \

I wasn't sure what the style guidelines were for non-initial declaration & assignment, though...

Reproducing:  run fio under 'perf';  observe 1.x% of time taken by getpid(). :)
