Dynamic Debug: Introduce ddebug_query= boot parameter

Dynamic debug lacks the ability to enable debug messages at boot time.
One could patch initramfs or service startup scripts to write to
/sys/../dynamic_debug/control, but this sucks.

This patch makes it possible to pass a query in the same format one can
write to /sys/../dynamic_debug/control via boot param.
When dynamic debug gets initialized, this query will automatically be
applied.

Controlling dynamic debug Behaviour

Debug messages during boot process
==================================
To be able to activate debug messages during the boot process,
even before userspace and debugfs exists, use the boot parameter:
ddebug_query="QUERY"
QUERY follows the syntax described above, but must not exceed 1023
characters. The enablement of debug messages is done as an arch_initcall.
Thus you can enable debug messages in all code processed after this
arch_initcall via this boot parameter.
On an x86 system for example ACPI enablement is a subsys_initcall and
ddebug_query="file ec.c +p"
will show early Embedded Controller transactions during ACPI setup if
your machine (typically a laptop) has an Embedded Controller.
PCI (or other devices) initialization also is a hot candidate for using
this boot parameter for debugging purposes.
