[PATCH v8 21/35] dyndbg: treat comma as a token separator

Treat comma as a token terminator, just like a space.  This allows a
user to avoid quoting hassles when spaces are otherwise needed:

 :#> modprobe drm dyndbg=class,DRM_UT_CORE,+p\;class,DRM_UT_KMS,+p

or as a boot arg:

 drm.dyndbg=class,DRM_UT_CORE,+p  # todo: support multi-query here

Given the many ways a boot-line +args can be assembled and then passed
in/down/around shell based tools, this may allow side-stepping all
sorts of quoting hassles thru those layers.

existing query format:

 modprobe test_dynamic_debug dyndbg="class D2_CORE +p"

new format:

 modprobe test_dynamic_debug dyndbg=class,D2_CORE,+p
