Inspired by a patch from [Justin][1] I took a closer look at kdb_read().

Despite Justin's patch being a (correct) one-line manipulation it was a
tough patch to review because the surrounding code was hard to read and
it looked like there were unfixed problems.

This series isn't enough to make kdb_read() beautiful but it does make
it shorter, easier to reason about and fixes two buffer overflows and a
screen redraw problem!

Changes in v2:
- No code changes!
- I belatedly realized that one of the cleanups actually fixed a buffer
  overflow so there are changes to Cc: (to add stable@...) and to one
  of the patch descriptions.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240416-kgdb_read_refactor-v1-0-b18c2d01076d@linaro.org
