rGbd16c274c382: kdb: Permit a NULL thread credential in kdb_backend_permitted()

Summary

Early during boot, thread0 runs with td->td_ucred == NULL. This is
fixed up in proc0_init() at SI_SUB_INTRINSIC. If a panic occurs before
then, rather than dereference a NULL pointer, simply allow the thread to
enter KDB.
