kgdb patches for 5.10-rc1
A fairly modest set of changes for this cycle. Of particular
note are an earlycon fix from Doug Anderson and my own changes to get
kgdb/kdb to honour the kprobe blocklist. The later creates a safety
rail that strongly encourages developers not to place breakpoints in,
for example, arch specific trap handling code.
Also included are a couple of small fixes and tweaks: an API update,
eliminate a coverity dead code warning, improved handling of search
during multi-line printk and a couple of typo corrections.

kdb: Fix pager search for multi-line strings
Currently using forward search doesn't handle multi-line strings correctly.
The search routine replaces line breaks with \0 during the search and, for
regular searches ("help | grep Common\n"), there is code after the line
has been discarded or printed to replace the break character.
However during a pager search ("help\n" followed by "/Common\n") when the
string is matched we will immediately return to normal output and the code
that should restore the \n becomes unreachable. Fix this by restoring the
replaced character when we disable the search mode and update the comment
accordingly.
Fixes: fb6daa7520f9d ("kdb: Provide forward search at more prompt")
