Subject: [PATCH v2 21/59] dyndbg-test: change do_prints testpoint to accept a loopct

echo 1000 > /sys/module/test_dynamic_debug/parameters/do_prints

This allows its use as a scriptable load generator, to generate
dynamic-prefix-emits for flag combinations vs undecorated messages.
This will make it easy to assess the cost of the prefixing.

Reading the ./do_prints node also prints messages (once) to the-log.

NB: the count is clamped to 10000, chosen to be notice able, but not
annoying, and not enough to accidentally flood the logs.
