Subject: [PATCH] arm: kgdb: fix NUMREGBYTES so that gdb_regs[] is the correct size

From: David Rivshin <DRivshin@...worx.com>

NUMREGBYTES (which is used as the size for gdb_regs[]) is incorrectly based
on DBG_MAX_REG_NUM instead of GDB_MAX_REGS. DBG_MAX_REG_NUM is the number
of total registers, while GDB_MAX_REGS is the number of 'unsigned longs'
it takes to serialize those registers. Since FP registers require 3
'unsigned longs' each, DBG_MAX_REG_NUM is smaller than GDB_MAX_REGS.

This causes GDB 8.0 give the following error on connect:
"Truncated register 19 in remote 'g' packet"

This also causes the register serialization/deserialization logic to
overflow gdb_regs[], overwriting whatever follows.
