Subject: [PATCH 16/18] dyndbg: make ddebug_tables list LIFO for add/remove_module

loadable modules are the last in, and are the only modules that could
be removed.  ddebug_remove_module() searches from head, but
ddebug_add_module() uses list_add_tail().  Change it to list_add() for
a micro-optimization.
