Subject: [PATCH 59/62] Blackfin: fix length checking in kgdb_ebin2mem

From: Roel Kluin <roel.kluin@...il.com>

The kgdb_ebin2mem() was decrementing the count variable to do parsing, but
then later still tries to use it based on its original meaning.  So leave
it untouched and use a different variable to walk the memory.
