dynamic_debug: add an option to enable dynamic debug for modules only

Browse Source 
Instead of enabling dynamic debug globally with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG,
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE will only enable core function of dynamic
debug.  With the DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE defined for any modules, dynamic
debug will be tied to them.

This is useful for people who only want to enable dynamic debug for
kernel modules without worrying about kernel image size and memory
consumption is increasing too much.

Enable core functional support of dynamic debug. It is useful
when you want to tie dynamic debug to your kernel modules with
DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE defined for each of them, especially for
the case of embedded system where the kernel image size is
sensitive for people.
