Since sysfs knobs should generally read-back what was just written
(unless theres a good reason to do otherwise), this result (using
test_dynamic_debug.ko) is suboptimal:

  echo L3 > p_level_names
  cat p_level_names
  4

Fix this with a -1 offset in LEVEL_NAMES readback.

NOTE:

Calling this a BUG is debatable, and the above is slightly inaccurate
wrt "read-back"; whats written is a LEVEL_NAME (a string).  Whats read
back is an integer, giving the 'edge' of the 'low-pass-filter'

The actual test looks like:

RTT: L4 -> p_level_names : 4 :: DOING: levels 4-1
[   17.509594] dyndbg: "L4" > p_level_names:0x4
[   17.510115] dyndbg: apply: 0x1f to: 0xf
[   17.510506] dyndbg: query 0: "class L4 +p" mod:*
[   17.510992] dyndbg: split into words: "class" "L4" "+p"
[   17.511521] dyndbg: op='+'
[   17.511811] dyndbg: flags=0x1
[   17.512127] dyndbg: *flagsp=0x1 *maskp=0xffffffff
[   17.512604] dyndbg: parsed: func="" file="" module="" format="" lineno=0-0 class=L4
[   17.513414] dyndbg: applied: func="" file="" module="" format="" lineno=0-0 class=L4
[   17.514204] dyndbg: processed 1 queries, with 1 matches, 0 errs
[   17.514809] dyndbg: bit_4: 1 matches on class: L4 -> 0x1f
[   17.515355] dyndbg: p_level_names: changed bit-4: "L4" f->1f
[   17.515933] dyndbg: total matches: 1
crap [[ 5 != 4 ]]

This -1 adjustment just reports the edge consistently with its
input-mapping.

Fixes: b9400852c080 (dyndbg: add drm.debug style (drm/parameters/debug) bitmap support)
