I have to retract on designated-initializers into DYNDBG_CLASSMAP_DEFINE

While it works for DRM, and looks good, and self-documenting,
it only works cuz DRM_UT_CORE = 0,
and breaks when I used it 2x in test-dynamic-debug.ko.
the 2nd _DEFINE needs a _base > DRM_UT_LAST.


With designated-init exprs passed in thru the macro, I get:

    1st classmap below is bad - the length should be 8, but is 28 cuz
init started at 20.

    (gdb) p *di->classes at di->num_classes
    $2 = {{mod = 0xffffffffc0203740, mod_name = 0xffffffffc0206220
"test_dynamic_debug",
        class_names = 0xffffffffc0203080, length = 28, base = 20,
map_type = DD_CLASS_TYPE_LEVEL_NUM}, {
        mod = 0xffffffffc0203740, mod_name = 0xffffffffc0206220
"test_dynamic_debug",
        class_names = 0xffffffffc0203160, length = 10, base = 0,
map_type = DD_CLASS_TYPE_DISJOINT_BITS}}
    (gdb)

    so 1st 20 classnames are empty, and classnames -> index -> classid
translation fails later.

    (gdb) p *di->classes[0]->class_names at di->classes[0]->length
    $4 = {0x0 <fixed_percpu_data> <repeats 20 times>,
0xffffffffc0206356 "V0", 0xffffffffc0206359 "V1",
      0xffffffffc020635c "V2", 0xffffffffc020635f "V3",
0xffffffffc0206362 "V4", 0xffffffffc0206365 "V5",
      0xffffffffc0206368 "V6", 0xffffffffc020636b "V7"}
    (gdb)

Basically, when designated-inits are passed in, the _base param is redundant,
and the once guaranteed contiguous 0-based classnames list is now
guaranteed sparse.

the macro could be altered to expect designated-inits,
but I couldnt distinguish between the 2 different uses,
so theres a mis-use potential either way.

Id prefer to keep the _DEFINE the way it is,
and better kdoc & howto this to explain away the potential.

BTW: Im aware I failed to delete some v9*patch files before git send-email,
Im considering my penance, will resend soon.
