[PATCH 11/11] dynamic_debug: init with core_initcall, not arch_initcall

[jim . cromie]

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@xxxxxxxxx>

Initializing dynamic_debug earlier makes pr_debug useful earlier
in boot process.  For example:

    dyndbg=" module params +p"

will enable parameter processing for initcall levels after core.
Note that this is too late to enable params processing for builtin
modules, which is a significant limitation, but its still
potentially useful.

RFC: This works for me on a 64 bit desktop and i586 SBC, but is
untested on other arches.  I presume there is or was a reason
it was done with arch_initcall, maybe the constraints have changed.
