Subject: [PATCH 4.19 167/191] drm/amd/display: Dont invoke kgdb_breakpoint() unconditionally

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit 8b7dc1fe1a5c1093551f6cd7dfbb941bd9081c2e upstream.

ASSERT_CRITICAL() invokes kgdb_breakpoint() whenever either
CONFIG_KGDB or CONFIG_HAVE_KGDB is set.  This, however, may lead to a
kernel panic when no kdb stuff is attached, since the
kgdb_breakpoint() call issues INT3.  It's nothing but a surprise for
normal end-users.

For avoiding the pitfall, make the kgdb_breakpoint() call only when
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL_DC is set.
