Add GPL-2.0 license id to some files related to kdb and kgdb,
replacing references to GPL or COPYING.

These files were introduced into the kernel in 2008 and 2010.

strcpy() is deprecated; use the new helper function kdb_strdup_dequote()
instead. In addition to string duplication similar to kdb_strdup(), it
also trims surrounding quotes from the input string if present.

kdb_strdup_dequote() also checks for a trailing quote in the input
string which was previously not checked.

kdb_restore_flags() and kdb_save_flags() were added in 2010 by
commit 5d5314d6795f ("kdb: core for kgdb back end (1 of 2)")

No functional change.

This patch migrates the kdb 'lsmod' command support out of main
kdb code into its own file under kernel/module. In addition to
the above, a minor style warning i.e. missing a blank line after
declarations, was resolved too. The new file was added to
MAINTAINERS. Finally we remove linux/module.h as it is entirely
redundant.

Currently kdb_putarea_size() uses copy_from_kernel_nofault() to write *to*
arbitrary kernel memory. This is obviously wrong and means the memory
modify ('mm') command is a serious risk to debugger stability: if we poke
to a bad address we'll double-fault and lose our debug session.

Fix this the (very) obvious way.

Note that there are two Fixes: tags because the API was renamed and this
patch will only trivially backport as far as the rename (and this is
probably enough). Nevertheless Christoph's rename did not introduce this
problem so I wanted to record that!

Fixes: fe557319aa06 ("maccess: rename probe_kernel_{read,write} to copy_{from,to}_kernel_nofault")

<title>kdb: Adopt scheduler's task classification</title>

<id>b77dbc86d60459b42ab375e4e23172e7245f2854</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently kdb contains some open-coded routines to generate a summary
character for each task. This code currently issues warnings, is
almost certainly broken and won't make sense to any kernel dev who
has ever used /proc to examine task states.

Fix both the warning and the potential for confusion by adopting the
scheduler's task classification. Whilst doing this we also simplify the
filtering by using mask strings directly (which means we don't have to
guess all the characters the scheduler might give us).

Unfortunately we can't quite match the scheduler classification completely.
We add four extra states: - for idle loops and i, m and s for sleeping
system daemons (which means kthreads in one of the I, M and S states).
These extra states are used to manage the filters for tools to make the
output of ps and bta less noisy.

Note: The Fixes below is the last point the original dubious code was
      moved; it was not introduced by that patch. However it gives us
      the last point to which this patch can be easily backported.
      Happily that should be enough to cover the introduction of
      CONFIG_WERROR!
