Subject: [PATCH v2 03/27] dyndbg: fix module.dyndbg handling

For CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=N, the ddebug_dyndbg_module_param_cb()
stub-fn is too permissive:

bash-5.1# modprobe drm JUNKdyndbg
bash-5.1# modprobe drm dyndbgJUNK
[   42.933220] dyndbg param is supported only in CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG builds
[   42.937484] ACPI: bus type drm_connector registered

This caused no ill effects, because unknown parameters are either
ignored by default (with an "unknown parameter" warning, see below),
or ignored because dyndbg allows its no-effect use on non-dyndbg builds.

That said, the code has an explicit feedback message, which should be
issued accurately.  Fix with strcmp, for exact param-name match.

Here is fixed behavior:

bash-5.1# modprobe drm dyndbgJUNK
[   20.127473] drm: unknown parameter 'dyndbgJUNK' ignored
[   20.128835] ACPI: bus type drm_connector registered
bash-5.1# rmmod drm
[   37.961656] ACPI: bus type drm_connector unregistered
bash-5.1# modprobe drm dyndbg
[   42.933220] dyndbg param is supported only in CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG builds
[   42.937484] ACPI: bus type drm_connector registered
