Subject: [PATCH] kdb: Fix a potential buffer overflow in kdb_local()

When appending "[defcmd]" to 'kdb_prompt_str', the size of the string
already in the buffer should be taken into account.

Switch from strncat() to strlcat() which does the correct test to avoid
such an overflow.

Fixes: 5d5314d6795f ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)")
