[PATCH 6/7] earlyprintk,vga,kdb: Fix \b and \r for earlyprintk=vga with kdb

[Jason Wessel]

Allow kdb to work properly with with earlyprintk=vga by interpreting
the backspace and carriage return output characters.  These
interpretation of these characters is used for simple line editing
provided in the kdb shell.
