[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
