[Bug ada/17854] Nothing sets pspace_data->sym_cache?

commit 66c168ae56fa2d67f821ccae774fd25c695fd9ce

    [Ada] pspace_data->sym_cache is always NULL

    The Ada symbol cache has been designed to have one instance of that
    of that cache per program space, and for each instance to be created
    on-demand. ada_get_symbol_cache is the function responsible for both
    lookup and creation on demand.

    Unfortunately, ada_get_symbol_cache forgot to store the reference
    to newly created caches, thus causing it to:
      - Leak old caches;
      - Allocate a new cache each time the cache is being searched or
        a new entry is to be inserted.

    This patch fixes the issue by avoiding the use of the local variable,
    which indirectly allowed the bug to happen. We manipulate the reference
    in the program-space data instead.

    gdb/ChangeLog:

            PR gdb/17854:
            * ada-lang.c (ada_get_symbol_cache): Set pspace_data->sym_cache
            when allocating a new one.
