STATUS:

broken with some over-free, punt and comment out late_initcall

Implement dymamic_debug_sites_reclaim(as a late_initcall) to free the
tail~47% of the builtin __dyndbg_sites[] vector back to the buddy
allocator.  Code is copied from mm/init.c:free_initmem(), wo the
poisoning.  Comments cargo culted wo grokking.

v3pr_info:

 dyndbg: freeing range: ffffea00000c5500-ffffea00000c5700, ffffffff83154668-ffffffff8315c480
 dyndbg:      ie range: ffffea00000c5500-ffffea00000c5700, ffffffff83154000-ffffffff8315c000
 dyndbg: freeing page: ffffea00000c5540, ffffffff83155000
 dyndbg: freeing page: ffffea00000c5580, ffffffff83156000
 dyndbg: freeing page: ffffea00000c55c0, ffffffff83157000
 dyndbg: freeing page: ffffea00000c5600, ffffffff83158000
 dyndbg: freeing page: ffffea00000c5640, ffffffff83159000
 dyndbg: freeing page: ffffea00000c5680, ffffffff8315a000
 dyndbg: freeing page: ffffea00000c56c0, ffffffff8315b000

Presuming those are 4k pages, 28kb is reclaimed, which is reasonably
consistent with the numbers below; 1532/2761 compresson of 64KiB.

I have fixed one edge-case over-free, which gave me a coredump on
```cat control```, there may be (one) other.

 dyndbg: 2762 prdebugs in 235 modules, 11 KiB in ddebug tables, 86 KiB \
 in __dyndbg section, 64 KiB in __dyndbg_sites section
