[PATCH v7d 18/23] dyndbg: reserve flag bit _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PREFIX_CACHED

Reserve bit 7 to remember that a pr-debug callsite is/was:
- enabled, with +p
- wants a dynamic-prefix, with one+ of module:function:sourcfile
- was previously called
- was thus saved in the cache. NOT YET.

Its unclear whether any cache fetch would be faster than 2-3 field
fetches, but theres another factor; the 3 columns in the __dyndbg
section are highly redundant and compressible, but to get the
compression, we need field accessors, which will rebalance the
tradeoff.

So, for now, its just the bit reservation.
