Subject: [PATCH] [kgdb]switch master cpu after gdb thread command for SMP

 In blackfin SMP architecture, different core has its own L1 SRAM and MMR
 memory, which code running on the other core can't access. In current kgdb
 impelemntation, cpus are represented by thread with minus prefix.

If user wants gdb to switch to the thread of the other cpu, kgdb should:
1. signal current master cpu to enter kgdb_wait
2. release the specific waiting passive cpu
3. exit kgdb exception loop on current master cpu
4. trap the release cpu into kgdb exception loop

The kgdb arch implementation with SMP support should include function
kgdb_roundup_cpu().
