Subject: [PATCH 4.19 235/313] kdb: Dont back trace on a cpu that didnt round up

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit 162bc7f5afd75b72acbe3c5f3488ef7e64a3fe36 ]

If you have a CPU that fails to round up and then run 'btc' you'll end
up crashing in kdb becaue we dereferenced NULL.  Let's add a check.
It's wise to also set the task to NULL when leaving the debugger so
that if we fail to round up on a later entry into the debugger we
won't backtrace a stale task.
