kgdb: timeout if secondary CPUs ignore the roundup
Currently if an active CPU fails to respond to a roundup request the CPU that requested the roundup will become stuck. This needlessly reduces the robustness of the debugger. This patch introduces a timeout allowing the system state to be examined even when the system contains unresponsive processors. It also modifies kdb's cpu command to make it censor attempts to switch to unresponsive processors and to report their state as (D)ead.
