Looks like you are trying to reinvent the wheel. Please consider using trace events kernel API (See Documentation/trace/events.txt and include/trace/events/xxxx.h etc), and do not try to add own debug/tracing framework. With the trace events framekwork, you will be able to add flexible and switchable debug functionalities without abusing NILFS2_DEBUG_XXXX kernel options and printk variants. As I usually comment to you, start small, with a simple but powerful change, and try to keep your patchset as simple as you can.
