[binutils-gdb] Fix Cell debugging regression

commit 4c4e7ad46ed77f552e2624d2f711c0ce51714395

    Fix Cell debugging regression
    
    Commit 00431a78b28f ("Use thread_info and inferior pointers more
    throughout") broke Cell multi-arch debugging, because it made the
    proc-service routines (ps_lgetregs etc.) access registers using the
    SPU architecture if GDB happens to interrupt SPU code.  The
    proc-service routines must always operate on the "main" (in this case
    PowerPC) architecture, because that's the register set libthread_db
    expects to be using.
    
    Restore the previous behavior, but wrapped in a new
    get_ps_regcache function with a describing comment.
    
    Also, the ps_l*regs routines have an explicit lwpid parameter that
    said commit missed; with the commit mentioned above, we started always
    reading the registers off of the current thread, which is incorrect.
    That is fixed by this commit too.

    2018-06-27  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>
    
    	* proc-service.c (get_ps_regcache): New.
