kdb: remove unused kdb_event handling
kdb_event state variable is only set but never checked in the kernel code. http://www.spinics.net/lists/kdb/msg01733.html suggests that this variable affected WARN_CONSOLE_UNLOCKED() in the original implementation. But this check never went upstream. The semantic is unclear and racy. The value is updated after the kdb_printf_lock is acquired and after it is released. It should be symmetric at minimum. The value should be manipulated either inside or outside the locked area. Fortunately, it seems that the original function is gone and we could simply remove the state variable.
