commit 09b35989421dfd5573f0b4683c7700a7483c71f9 upstream. Currently when kdb_read() needs to reposition the cursor it uses copy and paste code that works by injecting an '\0' at the cursor position before delivering a carriage-return and reprinting the line (which stops at the '\0'). Tidy up the code by hoisting the copy and paste code into an appropriately named function. Additionally let's replace the '\0' injection with a proper field width parameter so that the string will be abridged during formatting instead.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
