[PATCH 1/2] drm/print: Mark __drm_debug as __read_mostly

[Jim Cromie via B4 Relay]

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>

Under a multi-client workload of 12 concurrent vkcubes on AMD iGPU,
__drm_debug is read at ~83.3 kHz across multiple cores during atomic
and vblank checks.

__drm_debug is written only when userspace does:
  echo 0xff > /sys/module/drm/parameters/debug

Currently the linker packs __drm_debug into .bss adjacent to hot
structures: drm_lease_idr_object, drm_class, and drm_global_mutex,
causing unnecessary cacheline invalidations.

Mark __drm_debug as __read_mostly to relocate it to .data..read_mostly.
