kdb: Prevent kernel oops with kdb_defcmd
The kdb_defcmd can only be used to display the available command aliases while using the kernel debug shell. If you try to define a new macro while the kernel debugger is active it will oops. The debug shell macros must use pre-allocated memory set aside at the time kdb_init() is run, and the kdb_defcmd is restricted to only working at the time that the kdb_init sequence is being run, which only occurs if you actually activate the kernel debugger.
