kgdb: Add the ability to schedule a breakpoint via a tasklet

Some kgdb I/O modules require the ability to create a breakpoint
tasklet, such as kgdboc and external modules such as kgdboe.  The
breakpoint tasklet is used as an asynchronous entry point into the
debugger which will have a different function scope than the current
execution path where it might not be safe to have an inline
breakpoint.  This is true of some of the kgdb I/O drivers which share
code with kgdb and rest of the kernel users.
