[PATCH] cli: Fix command line underrun

[Wang, Peng]

Please discard this patch. I reviewed this patch and noticed that it forgot to take care the *np. The test that was performed may be incomplete.

On the other hand, it's strange that the cursor can be moved back beyond the prompt while it should be stopped by the "if (*np == 0)" check.

Since we do not have a hardware to run a test at this moment, we may provide only an untested patch update in a near future for your reference.

Regards,
Peng

This patch adds a column position check to fix the cli issue that backspace doesn't stop at the prompt.
