Subject: [PATCH 21/25] dynamic_debug: protect "dyndbg" fake module param name at compile-time

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

Add BUILD_BUG_DECL(name, cond) to cause compile error if condition is
true.  Unlike other flavors of BUILD_BUG_*, this works at file scope;
it declares an unused 0-sized var: __BUILD_BUG_DECL_##name, whose
declaration is readily found if compile errors happen.

Use this macro in module_param_named() to insure that "dyndbg" is
reserved and not used by modules as a param name, and drop the
run-time check for same.
