Subject: [PATCH v8 03/35] test-dyndbg: fixup CLASSMAP usage error

A more careful reading of logging output from test_dynamic_debug.ko
reveals:

lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:103 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =pmf "doing categories\n"
lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:105 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =p "LOW msg\n" class:MID
lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:106 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =p "MID msg\n" class:HI
lib/test_dynamic_debug.c:107 [test_dynamic_debug]do_cats =_ "HI msg\n" class unknown, _id:13

107 says: HI is unknown, 105,106 have LOW/MID and MID/HI skew.

The enum's 1st val (explicitly initialized) was wrong; it must be
_base, not _base+1 (a DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP param).  So the last
enumeration exceeded the range of mapped class-id's, which triggered
the "class unknown" report.  I coded in an error, intending to verify
err detection, then forgot, and missed that it was there.

So this patch fixes a bad usage of DECLARE_DYNDBG_CLASSMAP(), showing
that it is too error-prone.  As noted in test-mod comments:

 * Using the CLASSMAP api:
 * - classmaps must have corresponding enum
 * - enum symbols must match/correlate with class-name strings in the map.
 * - base must equal enum's 1st value
 * - multiple maps must set their base to share the 0-62 class_id space !!
