Playing initcall chicken here doesn't work so well - the later you
initialise dma-debug itself, the more chance it has to miss early
mappings and raise false positives later. As discussed previously[1] the
better solution would be to decouple the debugfs setup so that just that
part can be deferred until core_initcall_sync or later.
