[PATCH 03/16] kdb: Use real_parent when displaying a list of processes

kdb has a bug that when using the ps command to display a list of
processes, if a process is being debugged the debugger as the parent
process.

This is silly, and I expect it never comes up in ptractice. As there
is very little point in using gdb and kdb simultaneously. Update the
code to use real_parent so that it is clear kdb does not want to
display a debugger as the parent of a process.
