Daniel Thompson a5824e8393 kdb: Use format-specifiers rather than memset() for padding in kdb_read()
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2071668

commit c9b51ddb66b1d96e4d364c088da0f1dfb004c574 upstream.

Currently when the current line should be removed from the display
kdb_read() uses memset() to fill a temporary buffer with spaces.
The problem is not that this could be trivially implemented using a
format string rather than open coding it. The real problem is that
it is possible, on systems with a long kdb_prompt_str, to write past
the end of the tmpbuffer.

Happily, as mentioned above, this can be trivially implemented using a
format string. Make it so!
