  kdb: remove redundant check for scancode 0xe0 (2025-09-20 21:19:09 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
kgdb patches for 6.18

A collection of small cleanups this cycle. Thorsten Blum has replaced a
number strcpy() calls with safer alternatives (fixing a pointer
aliasing bug in the process). Colin Ian King has simplified things by
removing some unreachable code.
