[PATCH] kgdb,kdb: Setup basic kdb state before invoking commands via kgdb

[Matt Klein]

Although invasive kdb commands are not supported via kgdb, some useful
non-invasive commands like bt* require basic kdb state to be setup before
calling into the kdb code. Factor out some of this code and call it before
and after executing kdb commands via kgdb.
