kgdb: Read buffer overflow 

Roel Kluin reported an error found with Parfait.  Where we want to
ensure that that kgdb_info[-1] never gets accessed.

Also check to ensure any negative tid does not exceed the size of the
shadow CPU array, else report critical debug context because it is an
internal kgdb failure.
