Subject: [PATCH 04/13] dyndbg: drop EXPORTed dynamic_debug_exec_queries

This exported fn is effectively obsoleted by Commit:HEAD~2, so remove it.

The export was added here:
  commit a2d375eda771 ("dyndbg: refine export, rename to dynamic_debug_exec_queries()")
  commit 4c0d77828d4f ("dyndbg: export ddebug_exec_queries")

Its intent was to allow drm.debug to use the exported function to
implement its drm.debug bitmap api using dynamic_debug.

Instead, HEAD~2 implements the bitmap inside dyndbg, and exposes it in
a macro declarator, and HEAD~1 uses the macro to connect __drm_debug
to the supporting callbacks.

Since there are no other expected users, and any prospects would
likely reuse the bitmap or a straightforward extension of it, we can
drop this function until its really needed.

This also drops the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=N stub-func, and its
pr_warn(), which I avoided in 2012, then added in 2020 :-/
