[PATCH 3/6] selinux: improve debug configuration

From: Christian Göttsche
Date: Fri Aug 18 2023 - 11:13:38 EST


If the SELinux debug configuration is enabled define the macro DEBUG
such that pr_debug() calls are always enabled, regardless of
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG, since those message are the main reason for this
configuration in the first place.

Mention example usage in case CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is enabled in the
help section of the configuration.
