Currently the only user for debug heap is kdbnearsym() which can be modified to rather use statically allocated buffer for symbol name as per it's current usage. So do that and hence remove custom debug heap allocator. Note that this change puts a restriction on kdbnearsym() callers to carefully use shared namebuf such that a caller should consume the symbol returned immediately prior to another call to fetch a different symbol. Also, this change uses standard KSYM_NAME_LEN macro for namebuf allocation instead of local variable: knt1_size which should avoid any conflicts caused by changes to KSYM_NAME_LEN macro value. This change has been tested using kgdbtest on arm64 which doesn't show any regressions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
