[PATCH 2/3] Fix follow_exec latent problem

[Pedro Alves <palves at redhat dot com>]

A following commit to make each inferior have its own thread list
exposes a problem with bf93d7ba99 ("Add thread after updating gdbarch
when exec'ing"), which is that we can't defer adding the thread
because that breaks try_open_exec_file which deep inside ends up
calling inferior_thread():

The problem is latent currently because inferior_thread() at that
point manages to return a thread, even though it's the wrong one (of
the old inferior).

The problem originally fixed by bf93d7ba99 was:

    (...) we should avoid doing register reads
    after a process does an exec and before we've updated that inferior's
    gdbarch.  Otherwise, we may interpret the registers using the wrong
    architecture.

    (...) The call to "add_thread" done just after adding the inferior is
    problematic, because it ends up reading the registers (because the ptid
    is re-used, we end up doing a switch_to_thread to it, which tries to
    update stop_pc). (...)

The register-reading issue is no longer a problem nowadays, ever since
switch_to_thread stopped reading the stop_pc in git commit
f2ffa92bbce9 ("gdb: Eliminate the 'stop_pc' global").

So this commit basically reverts bf93d7ba99.
