Subject: [PATCH v7c 20/24] dyndbg: refactor *dynamic_emit_prefix

Refactor the split of duties between outer & inner fns.

The outer fn was previously just an inline unlikely forward to inner,
which did all the work.

Now, outer handles +t and +l flags itself, and calls inner only when
_DPRINTK_FLAGS_INCL_LOOKUP is needed.

No functional change.

But it does make the results of the inner-fn more cache-friendly
(fewer entries, reused more often):

1- no spurious [TID] or <intr> noise
2- no LINE-number to bloat the cache (avg 9 pr_debugs/fn)
3- only LOOKUP stuff

Currently LOOKUPs are descriptor-field refs but could be replaced by
accessor functions.  This would allow the __dyndbg_sites section to be
de-duplicated and reclaimed; currently module, filename fields are
~90% repeated.  As the accessors get more expensive, the value of
caching part of the prefix goes up.

Also change inner-fn to return count of extra chars written to the
buffer, and drop "inline" from outer, let the compiler decide.  Maybe
also change name accordingly.
