[PATCH 21/25] dynamic_debug: handle $module.dyndbg="+mfp" boot-line args

[jim.cromie@gmail.com]

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>

Handle explicit flag-arg given on boot-line, defaulting to "+p"
otherwize.  Note that the operator char is required in the flag-arg,
so these are legal, and the same (the latter being slightly odd):

  $module.dyndbg="=p"	# set p flag, clear others
  $module.dyndbg==p	# same

Note that modprobed modules will receive flag-args from the boot-line
*after* those given in /etc/modprobe.d/*.  This may be surprising;
boot-line args can alter previous flag settings, but is defensible, as
former are invocation specific, whereas latter are system-wide.
Options given on modprobe invocation are last, and correctly override
all previous flag settings.
