[PATCH 3/3] dyndbg: fixup/correct assumptions re ptr-vals

The is_odd(dp->zhandle) property is apparently reliable;
BUG_ONs in HEAD~1 demonstrate it.
But is_odd(dp->modname) is also sometimes true, at least when it
points into the __dyndbg section, which has been packed by the linker.
This means the (dp->zhandle % 2) test couldnt distinguish between the
2 values shared in the union. Happily, it blew up, challenging
assumptions. 'gdb> p *dp' confirmed the odd pointer.
Breakpoint 1, dynamic_emit_prefix (dp=0xffffffff8276e190 <__UNIQUE_ID_ddebug429.11>,
buf=0xffffc90000013d48 "߇]\201\377\377\377\377") at ../lib/dynamic_debug.c:598
598 *buf = '\0';
1: dp = (struct _ddebug *) 0xffffffff8276e190 <__UNIQUE_ID_ddebug429.11>
2: *dp = {{is_zhandle = 0, {zhandle = 18446744071599650201, {modname = 0xffffffff823d7599 "intel_idle",
function = 0xffffffff820d8b20 <__func__.7> "intel_idle_init",
filename = 0xffffffff823d75a4 "drivers/idle/intel_idle.c",
format = 0xffffffff823d74e8 "Please enable MWAIT in BIOS SETUP\n", lineno = 1609, flags = 1, key = {
dd_key_true = {key = {enabled = {counter = 1}, {type = 18446744071600203817,
entries = 0xffffffff8245e829, next = 0xffffffff8245e829}}}, dd_key_false = {key = {enabled = {
counter = 1}, {type = 18446744071600203817, entries = 0xffffffff8245e829,
next = 0xffffffff8245e829}}}}}}}}
So instead, add an explicit flag-int: is_zhandle, to remember when the
union is changed to zhandle.
Again, we abuse indenting to minimize whitespace, and add an anonymous
outer struct to contain is_zhandle, and previous contents.
Maybe this flag can be hidden somewhere else; splitting struct _ddebug
into parts is still needed (flags cant be in zram for non-JUMP_LABEL
builds), so maybe it ends up there.
Or perhaps the linker can be convinced to be slightly less
parsimonious with the ram, making this is_odd() test viable.
