[PATCH 07/18] Misc switch_back_to_stepped_thread cleanups


Several misc cleanups that prepare the tail end of this function, the
part that actually re-resumes the stepped thread.

The most non-obvious would be the currently_stepping change, I guess.
That's because it isn't ever correct to pass step=1 to target_resume
on software single-step targets, and currently_stepping works at a
conceptual higher level, it returns step=true even on software step
targets.  It doesn't really matter on hardware step targets, as the
breakpoint will be hit immediately, but it's just wrong on software
step targets.  I tested it against my x86 software single-step branch,
and it indeed fixes failed assertions (that catch spurious
PTRACE_SINGLESTEP requests) there.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-05-21  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* infrun.c (switch_back_to_stepped_thread): Use ecs->ptid instead
	of inferior_ptid.  If the stepped thread vanished, return 0
	instead of resuming here.  Use reset_ecs.  Print the prev_pc and
	the current stop_pc in log message.  Clear trap_expected if the
	thread advanced.  Don't pass currently_stepping to
	do_target_resume.

v4:

	ChangeLog typo fixed.
