[PATCH v2 13/59] dyndbg: add 2 new _DPRINTK_FLAGS_: INCL_LOOKUP, PREFIX_CACHED

Add _INCL_LOOKUP condition to separate +mfsl flags from +t, allowing
(after refactoring) to avoid a needless call-return.

Add a PREFIX_CACHED bit to remember that a pr-debug callsite is:

- enabled, with +p
- wants a dynamic-prefix, with _INCL_LOOKUP
- was previously called
- was thus saved in the prefix cache. NOT YET.

This allows (later) to cache part/all of the dynamic-prefix for each
pr_debug that gets called.

NOTES:

dyndbg's dynamic prefixing can get expensive; each enabled callsite's
prefix is sprintf'd into stack-mem, every time a pr_debug is called.

A cache would help, if callsites mark _DPRINTK_FLAGS_PREFIX_CACHED
after saving the prefix string.  But not yet.

-t  thread-id. not part of the "callsite" info, derived from current.
    doesn't belong in the cache. it would be wrong.
    can be done in outer: dynamic_emit_prefix()

-mfsl  module, function, source-file, line
    we cache these, composed into a sub-string.
    they are "lookups", currently to descriptor fields,.
    could be accessor macros to "compressed" tables.

All enabled together, they compose a prefix string like:

  # outer   -----inner-------------------
  "[tid] module:function:sourcfile:line: "

So this patch extracts _DPRINTK_FLAGS_INCL_LOOKUP macro out of
_DPRINTK_FLAGS_INCL_ANY macro, then redefs latter.

Next re-refactor dynamic_emit_prefix inner/outer fns accordingly.
