Subject: [PATCH 06/16] dyndbg: fix overcounting of ram used by dyndbg

during dyndbg init, verbose logging prints its ram overhead.  But it
counted strlens of all ddebug callsite entries, which are full of
pointers into shared __dyndbg memory, and shouldnt be counted at all
(since theyre already in the __dyndbg section)
