[PATCH v2 1/2] dynamic_debug: only add header when used

[Luis de Bethencourt]

kernel.h header doesn't directly use dynamic debug, instead we can include
it in module.c (which used it via kernel.h). printk.h only uses it if
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is on, changing the inclusion to only happen in that
case.

v2:
 * Adding a second patch to update DRDB which used to get dynamic_debug.h
   via kernel.h. This isn't available anymore and it needs to include it
   directly.

Hi,

While studying the problem that surfaced when adding #include <linux/kernel.h>
in include/linux/string.h to have access to the MAX_SIZE macro [0]. I noticed
that dynamic_debug.h is included in kernel.h even though it isn't necessary.
Which in the case of adding kernel.h to string.h would mean a circular
dependency.

Not entirely sure if there is a reason for this beyond making dynamic debug
available to module.c. Which is why I am sending this patch as an RFC.

Thanks for the feedback,
Luis
