4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Wentao Wang witallwang@gmail.com
commit 3ec8002951ea173e24b466df1ea98c56b7920e63 upstream.
Echo "" to /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdboc will fail with "No such device” error.
This is caused by function "configure_kgdboc" who init err to ENODEV when the config is empty (legal input) the code go out with ENODEV returned.
