PATCH 15/21 KGDB: Fix possibility of missing SysRq-G

From: Jason Wessel <[email protected]>
Subject: [PATCH] Fix possibility of missing SysRq-G

It is possible that when SysRq-G is triggered via the keyboard that we will miss the "up" event and once KGDB lets the kernel go another SysRq will be required to clear this, without this change.
