[PATCH v11 09/19] drm_print: add CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG

DRM.debug API is used thousands of times in drivers/gpu/drm/*; when
these are implemented using dynamic-debug, DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA adds
a struct _ddebug (56 bytes) per site.
Since i915 will have ~2k callsites, and amdgpu ~4k, the memory costs
are substantial, and thus made configurable.
For a baseline:
bash-5.1# drms_load
[ 10.923093] dyndbg: 1 debug prints in module drm
[ 10.928345] ACPI: bus type drm_connector registered
[ 11.034012] dyndbg: 2 debug prints in module ttm
[ 11.038188] dyndbg: 8 debug prints in module video
[ 11.551064] dyndbg: 127 debug prints in module i915
[ 11.617106] AMD-Vi: AMD IOMMUv2 functionality not available on this system - This is not a bug.
[ 12.084856] dyndbg: 2196 debug prints in module amdgpu
[ 12.099040] [drm] amdgpu kernel modesetting enabled.
[ 12.099790] amdgpu: CRAT table not found
[ 12.100523] amdgpu: Virtual CRAT table created for CPU
[ 12.100901] amdgpu: Topology: Add CPU node
[ 12.165382] dyndbg: 3 debug prints in module wmi
[ 12.356424] dyndbg: 3 debug prints in module nouveau
i915/gvt has pr_debugs that show up here
amdgpu has many pr_debugs from macro expansions
