cris: arch-v10: kgdb: Add '__used' for static variable is_dyn_brkp

Browse Source 
Within one C file, current gcc can optimize the global static variables
according to the C code, but it will skip assembly code -- it will pass
them to gas directly.

if the static variable is used between C code and assembly code in one C
file (e.g. is_dyn_brkp in kgdb.c), it needs '__used' to let gcc know it
should be still used, or gcc may remove it for optimization.

The related error in this case:

    LD      init/built-in.o
  arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/built-in.o: In function `kgdb_handle_breakpoint':
  (.text+0x2aca): undefined reference to `is_dyn_brkp'
  arch/cris/arch-v10/kernel/built-in.o: In function `is_static':
  kgdb.c:(.text+0x2ada): undefined reference to `is_dyn_brkp'
