kgdbts: prevent re-entry to kgdbts before it unregisters

The "kgdb_connected" variable of debug_core just indicates whether or
not kgdbts is connected to the debug_core.  It does not completely
prevent a script from trying invoke kgdbts again and possibly crashing
the system (see Call Trace below).

The configured variable in kgtbts can be used instead of
kgdb_connected instead of kgdb_connected. The cleanup_kgdbts() can
also be removed because there is no possible way to build kgdbts as a
kernel module that you could unload with rmmod.
