driver core: basic infrastructure for per-module dynamic debug messages

Base infrastructure to enable per-module debug messages.

I've introduced CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG, which when enabled centralizes
control of debugging statements on a per-module basis in one /proc file,
currently, <debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. When, CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG,
is not set, debugging statements can still be enabled as before, often by
defining 'DEBUG' for the proper compilation unit. Thus, this patch set has no
affect when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is not set.

The infrastructure currently ties into all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls. That
is, if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_PRINTK_DEBUG is set, all pr_debug() and dev_dbg() calls
can be dynamically enabled/disabled on a per-module basis.

Future plans include extending this functionality to subsystems, that define 
their own debug levels and flags.

Usage:

Dynamic debugging is controlled by the debugfs file, 
<debugfs>/dynamic_printk/modules. This file contains a list of the modules that
can be enabled. The format of the file is as follows:

	<module_name> <enabled=0/1>
		.
		.
		.

	<module_name> : Name of the module in which the debug call resides
	<enabled=0/1> : whether the messages are enabled or not

For example:

	snd_hda_intel enabled=0
	fixup enabled=1
	driver enabled=0

Enable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=1 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable a module:

	$echo "set enabled=0 <module_name>" > dynamic_printk/modules

Enable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=1 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Disable all modules:

	$echo "set enabled=0 all" > dynamic_printk/modules

Finally, passing "dynamic_printk" at the command line enables
debugging for all modules. This mode can be turned off via the above
disable command.

[gkh: minor cleanups and tweaks to make the build work quietly]
