[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3 02/19] test-dyndbg: show that DEBUG enables prdbgs at compiletime

Dyndbg is required to enable prdbgs at compile-time if DEBUG is
defined. Show this works; add the defn to test_dynamic_debug.c,
and manually inspect/verify its effect at module load:

[ 15.292810] dyndbg: module:test_dynamic_debug attached 4 classes
[ 15.293189] dyndbg: 32 debug prints in module test_dynamic_debug
[ 15.293715] test_dd: init start
[ 15.293716] test_dd: doing categories
[ 15.293716] test_dd: LOW msg
...
[ 15.293733] test_dd: L6 msg
[ 15.293733] test_dd: L7 msg
[ 15.293733] test_dd: init done

NOTES:

As is observable above, define DEBUG enables all prdbgs, including
those in mod_init-fn, and more notably, the class'd ones (callsites
with non-default class_ids).

This differs from the >control interface, which in order to properly
protect a client's class'd prdbgs, requires a "class FOO" in queries
to change them. If this sounds wrong, note that the DEBUG is in the
module source file, and is thus privileged.

This yields an occaisional surprise; the following disables all the
compile-time enabled plain prdbgs, but leaves the class'd ones
enabled.

:#> modprobe test_dynamic_debug dyndbg==_
