[PATCH 4/7] kdb: Fix early debugging crash regression

[Jason Wessel]

The kdb_current legally be equal to NULL in the early boot of the x86
arch.  The problem pcan be observed by booting with the kernel arguments:

    earlyprintk=vga ekgdboc=kbd kgdbwait

The kdb shell will oops on entry and recursively fault because it
cannot get past the final stage of shell initialization.
