LOCK_ASSERT should do a mtx_assert and not printf. If you want to
diverge from existing convention in all other drivers please use a

Please don't commit debug stuff like this; we've discussed this

of the sort you are seeing.

See above. Don't pollute stable w/ debug stuff. Fix the problem first
in HEAD.
