currently, for verbose=3, these are logged (blank lines for clarity):

 dyndbg: query 0: "class DRM_UT_CORE +p" mod:*
 dyndbg: split into words: "class" "DRM_UT_CORE" "+p"

 dyndbg: op='+'
 dyndbg: flags=0x1
 dyndbg: *flagsp=0x1 *maskp=0xffffffff

 dyndbg: parsed: func="" file="" module="" format="" lineno=0-0 class=...
 dyndbg: no matches for query
 dyndbg: no-match: func="" file="" module="" format="" lineno=0-0 class=...
 dyndbg: processed 1 queries, with 0 matches, 0 errs

That is excessive, so this patch:
 - shrinks 3 lines of 2nd stanza to single line
 - drops 1st 2 lines of 3rd stanza
   3rd line is like 1st, with result, not procedure.
   2nd line is just status, retold in 4th, with more info.

New output:

 dyndbg: query 0: "class DRM_UT_CORE +p"
 dyndbg: split into words: "class" "DRM_UT_CORE" "+p"
 dyndbg: op='+' flags=0x1 maskp=0xffffffff
 dyndbg: processed 1 queries, with 0 matches, 0 errs

Also drop several verbose=3 messages in ddebug_add_module.  When
modprobing a module, dyndbg currently logs/says "add-module", and then
"skipping" if the module has no prdbgs.  Instead just check 1st and
return quietly.

Unmatched query diagnostics are intentionally restricted to verbose
level 3 (v3pr_info_dq) to reduce dmesg output clutter on standard
verbose levels (verbose=1 and verbose=2), aligning with the overall
de-cluttering of dynamic debug logging.

v4: rename vpr_dq_info to v3pr_dq_info to tell its active logging level
    adjust some vX levels per doc'd intentions
v2: RvB after SoB

trivial change to verbose-debug output line to output the actual
"module" keyword rather than "mod:", and do so only when the module is
constrained by the callchain (ie as part of a modprobe).

 was:   query X: "(keyword value)* [+-=]flags" mod:*
 now:   query X: "(keyword value)* [+-=]flags"
   or   query X: module FOO "keyword value)* [+-=]flags"

IOW, adjust output to reflect the input grammar more closely.
