Inspired by a patch from [Justin][1] I took a closer look at kdb_read().

Despite Justin's patch being a (correct) one-line manipulation it was a
tough patch to review because the surrounding code was hard to read and
it looked like there were unfixed problems.

This series isn't enough to make kdb_read() beautiful but it does make
it shorter, easier to reason about and fixes a buffer overflow and a
screen redraw problem!
