Allow users & subsystems to selectively delete callsite info for
individual pr-debug callsites, or groups of them.

Its purpose is for subsystems such as DRM which:

- use distinct categories for logging, and can map them over to a
  format prefix, like: "drm:core:", "drm:kms:", etc.

- are happy with group control of all the callsites in a class/cateory.
  individual control is still possible using queries including line numbers

- don't need dynamic "module:function:line:" prefixes in log messages

- don't care about loss of context in /proc/dynamic_debug/control

before:

init/initramfs.c:485 [initramfs]unpack_to_rootfs =_ "Detected %s compressed data\012"
init/main.c:1337 [main]run_init_process =pm "    %s\012"
init/main.c:1335 [main]run_init_process =pm "  with environment:\012"
init/main.c:1334 [main]run_init_process =pm "    %s\012"
init/main.c:1332 [main]run_init_process =pm "  with arguments:\012"
init/main.c:1121 [main]initcall_blacklisted =pm "initcall %s blacklisted\012"
init/main.c:1082 [main]initcall_blacklist =pm "blacklisting initcall %s\012"

then:
  bash-5.0# echo file init/main.c +D > /proc/dynamic_debug/control

after:

init/initramfs.c:485 [initramfs]unpack_to_rootfs =_ "Detected %s compressed data\012"
[main]:1337 =pmD "    %s\012"
[main]:1335 =pmD "  with environment:\012"
[main]:1334 =pmD "    %s\012"
[main]:1332 =pmD "  with arguments:\012"
[main]:1121 =pmD "initcall %s blacklisted\012"
[main]:1082 =pmD "blacklisting initcall %s\012"

Notes:

If Drm adopted dyndbg, i915 + drm* would add ~1600 prdebugs, amdgpu +
drm* would add ~3200 callsites, so the additional memory costs are
substantial.  In trade, drm and drivers would avoid lots of calls to
drm_debug_enabled().  This patch should reduce the costs.

Using this interface, drm could drop site info for all categories /
prefixes controlled by bits in drm.debug, while preserving site info
and individual selectivity for any uncategorized prdebugs.

Lastly, because lineno field was not moved into _ddebug_callsite, it
can be used to modify a single[*] callsite even if drm has dropped all
the callsite data:

  echo module $mod format ^$prefix line $line +p >control

Dropping a _callsite a one-way, information losing operation, so minor
misuse is possible.  Worst case is maybe (depending upon previous
settings) some loss of logging context/decorations.

  echo +D > /proc/dynamic_debug/control

[*] amdgpu has some macros invoking clusters of pr_debugs; each use of
them creates a cluster of pr-debugs with the same line number.
