[pushed 1/2] gdbserver: Remove gdb_id_to_thread_id


>From what I understand, this function is not doing anything useful as of
today.

Here's the result of my archeological research:

- The field thread_info::gdb_id was added in

  a06660f7  Use LWP IDs for thread IDs in gdbserver

  There was problem when using a 32-bits gdb with a 64-bits gdbserver.
  For some reason that I don't fully understand, the thread ids
  exchanged between gdb and gdbserver could overflow a 32 bits data
  type.  My guess is that they were the thread address (e.g. the
  0x7ffff7f20b40 in "Thread 0x7ffff7f20b40 (LWP 1058)" today).  This
  patch changed that so gdb/gdbserver would talk in terms of the OS
  assigned numerical id (as shown in ps).  It therefore added a way to
  convert between this gdb_id (the numerical id) and the thread id (the
  address).

- 95954743cb  Implement the multiprocess extensions, and add linux
              multiprocess supportNon-stop mode support.

  This patch made gdbserver deal with threads using their numerical ids
  and not the address-like id.  Starting from there, the gdb_id <->
  thread id conversion was not needed anymore, since the remote protocol
  and gdbserver were using the same kind of ids again.  The gdb_id field
  in the thread_info structure was also unused starting there.

- d50171e4  Teach linux gdbserver to step-over-breakpoints.

  This patch moved the thread_info structure around, and got rid of the
  gdb_id field (which was unused).

Looking at the implementation of gdb_id_to_thread_id, it is not doing
anything useful.  It is looking up a thread by ptid using
find_thread_ptid, which basically loops over all threads looking at
their entry.id field.  If a thread with that ptid is found, it returns
its entry.id field.  So it will always return the same thing as it input
(with the exception of if no thread exist with that ptid, then it will
return null_ptid).

gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog:

	* inferiors.h (gdb_id_to_thread_id): Remove.
	* inferiors.c (gdb_id_to_thread_id): Remove.
	* server.c (process_serial_event): Adjust to gdb_id_to_thread_id
	removal.  Move pid declaration closer to where it's used.
