selftests/dyndbg: Enable FT_classmap_inheritance

Exercise classmap state inheritance between supermod and submod, verifying
that class settings and controlling parameter states propagate from parent
classmap definitions to dependent class users upon module load and during
runtime reconfiguration.

[Severity: Medium]
Does this regex fail to match the sub-module as intended?

Looking at FT_classmap_inheritance(), it calls slice_and_hash_ddctrl() which
uses grep to filter output. In POSIX Basic Regular Expressions (BRE), the *
quantifier matches zero or more occurrences of the preceding character (g).

This means the regex matches [test_dynamic_debug] but demands that the
bracket ] immediately follows the g's. It completely fails to match
[test_dynamic_debug_submod], silently excluding the sub-module from the
load-time test assertions.

fixed in v13

[Severity: Medium]
Similar to the issue above, does this regex fail to capture the runtime
state of the sub-module?

This allows the equivalence check between hash_modprobe and hash_sysfs
to pass without actually verifying the sub-module inheritance behavior.

yes, now fixed
