You change the output here by more than just adding a prefix.

The first printk didn't have a newline.

The old code would print:

"rbtree testing -> <foo> cycles"

The new code prints:

"rbtree_test: rbtree testing"
"rbtree_test: -> <foo> cycles"

btw: each pr_info should have a newline termination
or be followed by a some number of pr_cont/printk with
the last one having a terminating newline.

The first pr_info here doesn't have a newline
so it's possible (though unlikely) that another
thread could have its output appended/interleaved
on the same line.
