    kdb: address -Wformat-security warnings
    
    [ Upstream commit 70867efacf4370b6c7cdfc7a5b11300e9ef7de64 ]
    
    When -Wformat-security is not disabled, using a string pointer
    as a format causes a warning:
    
    kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c: In function 'kdb_read':
    kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c:365:36: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
      365 |                         kdb_printf(kdb_prompt_str);
          |                                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c: In function 'kdb_getstr':
    kernel/debug/kdb/kdb_io.c:456:20: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments [-Werror=format-security]
      456 |         kdb_printf(kdb_prompt_str);
          |                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    
    Use an explcit "%s" format instead.
