earlyprintk,vga,kdb: Fix \b and \r for earlyprintk=vga with kdb
Allow kdb to work properly with with earlyprintk=vga by interpreting the backspace and carriage return output characters. These interpretation of these characters is used for simple line editing provided in the kdb shell. CC: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> CC: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> CC: H.
