[RFC PATCH v5 26/28] dyndbg: fixup protect header when deleting site

fix a null-ptr-deref when .site info is deleted.

 #> echo +D > /proc/dynamic_debug/control

This protects the header.site pointer from zeroing; we need it for all
the SITE_CHK sanity checking.  Probably should protect against
toggling the static_key too (in the same function), but this smaller
change fixes the crash.
