kdb: A fix for kdb command table expansion
When locally adding in some additional kdb commands, I stumbled across an issue with the dynamic expansion of the kdb command table. When the number of kdb commands exceeds the size of the statically allocated kdb_base_commands[] array, additional space is allocated in the kdb_register_repeat() routine. The unused portion of the newly allocated array was not being initialized to zero properly and this would result in segfaults when help '?' was executed or when a search for a non-existing command would traverse the command table beyond the end of valid command entries and then attempt to use the non-zeroed area as actual command entries.
