Prove that linker + DECLARE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA reliably place the
2 related struct _ddebug* initializations into parallel/ordered slots
in the __dyndbg_* sections.

This is a step towards dropping the pointer between the 2 structs;
maybe the 2 vectors stay ordered, and we can deduce and use N.  Of
course this test won't survive, since it needs the pointer we seek to
drop, but its a start.

0- iterate over __dyndbg_callsite in parallel with __dyndbg
   rename var: s/iter_start/iter_mod_start/ for clarity, consistency.

I disregarded a checkpatch warning about externs in c-files, staying
consistent with long-standing code seemed better.

1- prove that iter->site == site_iter.
   DECLARE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA + linker insure this now
   Maybe we can drop pointer, still get order.

WRT the debug-printing, its noisy, but only with verbose=3.
It warrants trimming later.

The offset grows smoothly, because it is N * sizeof(structs), which
differ.  It looks reliable.  Amend later to do math, converge on
truth.  If numbers are stable after stripping pointer, we have N.

                       rec            ptr              mod-ptr N (void*)p
[    1.929072] dyndbg: 2828: ffffffff82b32f28 ffffffff82b32f10 1 24 40
[    1.929326] dyndbg: 2829: ffffffff82b32f40 ffffffff82b32f10 2 48 80
[    1.930209] dyndbg:   2 debug prints in module i386

We have N (col 4), and N * structsize (col 5).  I feel like it still
needs more staring at.
