[PATCH] kdb: kdb_main: refactor code in kdb_md_line

[Gustavo A. R. Silva]

Replace the whole switch statement with a for loop.
This makes the code much clear and easy to read.

This also addresses the following Coverity warnings:

Addresses-Coverity-ID: 115090 ("Missing break in switch")
Addresses-Coverity-ID: 115091 ("Missing break in switch")
Addresses-Coverity-ID: 114700 ("Missing break in switch")

i already a control variable for the outer loop. It is not safe to reuse
it here.
