[PATCH 1/2] dyndbg: dont panic over bad input

[Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@gmail.com>]

This BUG_ON, from 2009, caught the impossible case of a word-char both
starting and ending a string (loosely speaking).  A bad (reverted)
patch finally hit this case, but even "impossibly bad input" is no
reason to panic the kernel.  Instead pr_err and return -EINVAL.
