[PATCH v3 4/4] kdb: Don't back trace on a cpu that didn't round up
From: Douglas Anderson
Date: Tue Nov 06 2018 - 20:04:21 EST
If you have a CPU that fails to round up and then run 'btc' you'll end
up crashing in kdb becaue we dereferenced NULL. Let's add a check.
It's wise to also set the task to NULL when leaving the debugger so
that if we fail to round up on a later entry into the debugger we
won't backtrace a stale task.
