Subject: [PATCH 10/13] drm_print: refine drm_debug_enabled for dyndbg+jump-label

In order to use dynamic-debug's jump-label optimization in drm-debug,
its clarifying to refine drm_debug_enabled into 3 uses:

1.   drm_debug_enabled - legacy, public
2. __drm_debug_enabled - optimized for dyndbg jump-label enablement.
3.  _drm_debug_enabled - pr_debug instrumented, observable

1. The legacy version always checks the bits.

2. is privileged, for use by __drm_dbg(), __drm_dev_dbg(), which do an
early return unless the category is enabled (free of call/NOOP side
effects).  For dyndbg builds, debug callsites are selectively
"pre-enabled", so __drm_debug_enabled() short-circuits to true there.
Remaining callers of 1 may be able to use 2, case by case.

3. is 1st wrapped in a macro, with a pr_debug, which reports each
usage in /proc/dynamic_debug/control, making it observable in the
logs.  The macro lets the pr_debug see the real caller, not an inline
function.

When plugged into 1, it identified ~10 remaining callers of the
function, leading to the follow-on cleanup patch, and would allow
activating the pr_debugs, estimating the callrate, and the potential
savings by using the wrapper macro.  It is unused ATM, but it fills
out the picture.
