Some functions are only used in the kgdb.c file. Add static properities
to these functions to avoid "no previous prototype" compile warnings

Better describe what this helper does, and match the naming of
copy_from_kernel_nofault.
Also switch the argument order around, so that it acts and looks
like get_user().

In KGDB, the GDB in the host is responsible for the single-step operation
of the software. In other words, KGDB does not need to derive the next pc
address when performing a software single-step operation. KGDB just inserts
the break instruction at the indicated address according to the GDB
instructions. This approach does not work in KDB because the GDB does not
involve the KDB process. Therefore, this patch provides KDB a software
single-step mechanism to use.

The $status, $badaddr, and $cause registers belong to the thread context,
so KGDB can obtain their contents from pt_regs in each trap. However, the
sequential number of these registers in the gdb register list is far from
the general-purpose registers. If riscv port uses the existing method to
report these three registers, many trivial registers with sequence numbers
in the middle of them will also be packaged to the reply packets. To solve
this problem, the riscv port wants to introduce the GDB target description
mechanism to customize the reported register list. By the list, the KGDB
can ignore the intermediate registers and just reports the general-purpose
registers and these three system registers.
