[PATCH v4] kdb: Simplify kdb commands registration

From: Sumit Garg
Date: Thu Feb 18 2021 - 09:04:46 EST


Simplify kdb commands registration via using linked list instead of
static array for commands storage.

Signed-off-by: Sumit Garg <sumit.garg@xxxxxxxxxx>
---

Changes in v4:
- Fix kdb commands memory allocation issue prior to slab being available
with an array of statically allocated commands. Now it works fine with
kgdbwait.
- Fix a misc checkpatch warning.
- I have dropped Doug's review tag as I think this version includes a
major fix that should be reviewed again.

Changes in v3:
- Remove redundant "if" check.
- Pick up review tag from Doug.

Changes in v2:
- Remove redundant NULL check for "cmd_name".
- Incorporate misc. comment.
