Actually, current erofs handle differently for beta users (in eng mode)
and commercial users.

CONFIG_EROFS_FS_DEBUG is enable for all beta users, after an observed
expression is false, we could get the whole memorydump as early as possible.
But for commercial users, there are no such observing points to promise
the kernel stability and performance.

It has helped us to find several bug, and I cannot find some alternative way
to get the the first scene of the accident...

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
