Currently we have a debug infrastructure in the notifiers file, but
it's very simple/limited. Extend it by:

(a) Showing all registered/unregistered notifiers' callback names;

(b) Adding a dynamic debug tuning to allow showing called notifiers'
function names. Notice that this should be guarded as a tunable since
it can flood the kernel log buffer.

V2:
- Major improvement thanks to the great idea from Xiaoming - changed
all the ksym wheel reinvention to printk %ps modifier;

- Instead of ifdefs, using IS_ENABLED() - thanks Steven.

- Removed an unlikely() hint on debug path.
