[PATCH v9 03/52] dyndbg: reword "class unknown," to "class:_UNKNOWN_"

When a dyndbg classname is unknown to a kernel module (as before
previous patch), the callsite is un-addressable via >control queries.

The control-file displays this condition as "class unknown,"
currently. That spelling is sub-optimal/too-generic, so change it to
"class:_UNKNOWN_" to loudly announce the erroneous situation, and to
make it exceedingly greppable.

NB: pr_debugs are only alterable via >control, and to protect class'd
debug's from unintended alteration, "class name" must be given to
change them. Classmaps map known classes to reserved .class_ids (the
1..64 val range per module).
