[PATCH v3 28/39] nouveau: change nvkm_debug/trace to use dev_dbg POC

These 2 macros formerly used dev_info, and they still check
subdev->debug to gate the printing.  So dyndbg control is redundant
ATM (and possibly confusing, since its off by default).

prdbg count is up from 3, or from 65 (with VMM_DEBUG here)

[    7.765379] dyndbg: 516 debug prints in module nouveau

Its possible to control error, warn, info callsites too, but they're
usually on, and the .data overheads on ~450 more callsites (56 bytes
each) would just be wasted.

$ for l in fatal error warn info debug trace spam; do
      echo $l; ack nvkm_$l drivers/gpu |wc; done
fatal
      3      19     335
error
    289    1956   30651
warn
     84     513    8860
info
     14      88    1502
debug
    387    2339   40844
trace
     31     219    3368
spam
      1       7     123

bash-5.1# echo $(( 516-65-387-31-1 ))
32

Thats approximate; not accounting #defines and doc/comment mentions.

NOTE: this patch changes the log-level of the macro-issued messages
from KERN_INFO to KERN_DEBUG.  Adding a .kern_lvl field to struct
_ddebug could fix that.

RFC: dyndbg & subdev->debug

Separate class-maps for each subdev are possible; except for the
coordinated use of _base, each is independent, including choice of
DISJOINT or LEVELS, as long as class-names don't conflict.
So theres some flexibility.
