dynamic_debug: use pointer comparison in ddebug_remove_module
Now that we store the passed-in string directly in ddebug_add_module, we can use pointer equality instead of strcmp. This is a little more efficient, but more importantly, this also makes the code somewhat more correct: Currently, if one loads and then unloads a module whose name happens to match the KBUILD_MODNAME of some built-in functionality (which need not even be modular at all), all of their dynamic debug entries vanish along with those of the actual module. For example, loading and unloading a core.ko hides all pr_debugs from drivers/base/core.c and other built-in files called core.c (incidentally, there is an in-tree module whose name is core, but I just tested this with an out-of-tree trivial one).
