Re: mourn the correct dead inferior

[Pedro Alves <pedro at codesourcery dot com>]

Hi guys,

Can I take it that there are no objections to the target side bits?

Mark, adding you to CC in case you want to comment on the inf-ptrace bit?

I'd like to check this in so I can move on with some other
remote.c cleanups dependent on this.  I'll do any extra fixing if
it turns out necessary.

	(handle_inferior_event): On a TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED or
	TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED, switch inferior_ptid to the event ptid.
	* linux_thread_db.c (thread_db_wait): On a TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED
	or TARGET_WAITKIND_SIGNALLED, return the ptid the beneath target
	returned.
	* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_wait): Return inferior_ptid instead of
	minus_one_ptid if the inferior disappeared.
	* rs6000-nat.c (rs6000_wait): Likewise.
	* spu-linux-nat.c (spu_child_wait): Likewise.
