STATUS:
broken with some over-free, punt and comment out late_initcall
Implement dymamic_debug_sites_reclaim(as a late_initcall) to free the
tail~47% of the builtin __dyndbg_sites[] vector back to the buddy
allocator. Code is copied from mm/init.c:free_initmem(), wo the
poisoning. Comments cargo culted wo grokking.
v3pr_info:
dyndbg: freeing range: ffffea00000c5500-ffffea00000c5700, ffffffff83154668-ffffffff8315c480

dyndbg: freeing page: ffffea00000c56c0, ffffffff8315b000
Presuming those are 4k pages, 28kb is reclaimed, which is reasonably
consistent with the numbers below; 1532/2761 compresson of 64KiB.
I have fixed one edge-case over-free, which gave me a coredump on
```cat control```, there may be (one) other.
dyndbg: 2762 prdebugs in 235 modules, 11 KiB in ddebug tables, 86 KiB \
in __dyndbg section, 64 KiB in __dyndbg_sites section
