Subject: [PATCH 5.15 298/530] dyndbg: fix module.dyndbg handling

From: Jim Cromie <jim.cromie@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 85d6b66d31c35158364058ee98fb69ab5bb6a6b1 ]

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, or ignored
because dyndbg allows its no-effect use on non-dyndbg builds.

But since the code has an explicit feedback message, it should be
issued accurately.  Fix with strcmp for exact param-name match.
