Instead of enabling dynamic debug globally with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG,
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_CORE will only enable core function of dynamic
debug. With the DYNAMIC_DEBUG_MODULE defined for any modules, dynamic
debug will be tied to them.
This is useful for people who only want to enable dynamic debug for
kernel modules without worrying about kernel image size and memory
consumption is increasing too much.

With the realization that having debugfs enabled on "production" systems
is generally not a good idea, debugfs is being disabled from more and
more platforms over time. However, the functionality of dynamic
debugging still is needed at times, and since it relies on debugfs for
its user api, having debugfs disabled also forces dynamic debug to be
disabled.
To get around this, also create the "control" file for dynamic_debug in
procfs. This allows people turn on debugging as needed at runtime for
individual driverfs and subsystems.

Two of the example command lines use an argument to echo of "-c" which
isn't valid in (most versions of) echo causing these examples to fail.
Correct the argument to "-n" which works correctly.
