[PATCH v4 5/5] dyndbg.lds.S: fix lost dyndbg sections in modules

With CONFIG_DRM_USE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG=y, several build configs had
problems with __dyndbg* sections getting lost in drm drivers.  Fix
this by following the model demonstrated in codetag.lds.h.

Introduce include/asm-generic/dyndbg.lds.h, to bundle dynamic-debug's
multiple sections together, into 2 macros:

vmlinux.lds.h DATA_DATA: move the 2 BOUNDED_SECTION_BY(__dyndbg*)
calls into dyndbg.lds.h DYNDBG_SECTIONS(). vmlinux.lds.h now includes
the new file and calls the new macro.

MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS keeps the 2 sections by name, aligns them and sets
the output address to 0 when the sections are empty.

dyndbg.lds.h includes (reuses) bounded-section.lds.h

scripts/module.lds.S: now calls MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS right before the
CODETAG macro (consistent with their placements in vmlinux.lds.h), and
also includes dyndbg.lds.h

This isolates vmlinux.lds.h from further __dyndbg section additions.

v3: move #includes to top, drop extra ALIGN(8) in DYNDBG_SECTIONS, add RvBy

v2: Address linker script review feedback for relocatable modules.

MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS() used the BOUNDED_SECTION_BY() macro, which
proved problematic for kernel modules for two reasons:

1. Unwanted Empty Sections:
   BOUNDED_SECTION_BY() automatically generates `__start` and `__stop`
   symbols. When applied to `MOD_DYNDBG_SECTIONS()`, the linker assumes
   the sections are populated due to the symbol definitions, forcing an
   empty `__dyndbg` and `__dyndbg_classes` output section in every
   compiled module, even those without dynamic debug configuration.
   Since the module loader uses `section_objs()` to locate data via
   ELF headers instead of relying on `__start`/`__stop` symbols, these
   assignments are completely unnecessary.

2. Non-zero Output Addresses:
   During relocatable linking (e.g., `ld.bfd -r`), omitting an explicit
   base address causes the section to inherit the current location
   counter. This results in non-zero sh_addr values in `.ko` files,
   which is confusing, degrades compressibility, and can cause issues
   with external tools parsing the ELF.

Fix both issues by dropping `BOUNDED_SECTION_BY()` in favor of a simple
`KEEP(*(...))` constraint and explicitly defining the sections with a `0`
base address: `__dyndbg 0 : ALIGN(8) { ... }`.
