[PATCH 22/25] dynamic_debug: call ddebug_add_module() on dynamic_debug first.

[Jim Cromie]

In dynamic_debug_init(), find the dynamic-debug entries in the debug
section, and call ddebug_add_module on those entries 1st, before
doing all the others.  Doing this activates debug callsites in
dynamic_debug before the functions they're part of are used to
process other modules, making them useful for debugging debug
queries on those modules.  Without this, the debuggability of
queries depends upon whether the module is before or after
dynamic-debug in the __verbose data, ie link order.

Finding the dynamic-debug entries effectively splits the __verbose
data in 2; 1st we mark the found spot and process mark to end
(which starts with dynamic-debug entries), then process start to mark.
Refactor the block-finding code into dynamic_debug_init_helper(),
then call it on the 2 halves of the __verbose data.
