kdb,debug_core: adjust master cpu switch logic against new debug_core locking
The kdb shell needs to enforce switching back to the original CPU that
took the exception before restoring normal kernel execution.  Resuming
from a different CPU than what took the original exception will cause
problems with spin locks that are freed from the a different processor
than had taken the lock.

The special logic in dbg_cpu_switch() can go away entirely with
because the state of what cpus want to be masters or slaves will
remain unchanged between entry and exit of the debug_core exception
context.
