Subject: [PATCH 6/7] kdb: Use format-specifiers rather than memset() for
 padding in kdb_read()

Currently when the current line should be removed from the display
kdb_read() uses memset() to fill a temporary buffer with spaces.
This can be trivially implemented using a format string. Make it so!

Note that this also simplifies the code by making the tab-completion
code the only code that uses tmpbuffer (and therefore makes reviewing
to ensure tmpbuffer can never overflow much easier).
