[PATCH 4.4 048/101] kgdb: Prevent infinite recursive entries to the debugger

From: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org>

[ Upstream commit 3ca676e4ca60d1834bb77535dafe24169cadacef ]

If we detect that we recursively entered the debugger we should hack
our I/O ops to NULL so that the panic() in the next line won't
actually cause another recursion into the debugger. The first line of
kgdb_panic() will check this and return.
