[PATCH][gdb] Fix hang after ext sigkill

[Tom de Vries <tdevries at suse dot de>]

Hi,

Consider the test-case from this patch, compiled with pthread support:
...
$ gcc src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/hang-after-ext-sigkill.c -lpthread
...

After running, the program sleeps:
...
$ gdb a.out
Reading symbols from a.out...
(gdb) r
Starting program: /data/gdb_versions/devel/a.out
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1".
[New Thread 0x7ffff77fe700 (LWP 22604)]
...

Until we interrupt it with a control-C:
...
^C
Thread 1 "a.out" received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
0x00007ffff78c50f0 in nanosleep () from /lib64/libc.so.6
(gdb)
...

If we then kill the inferior using an external SIGKILL:
...
(gdb) shell killall -s SIGKILL a.out
...
and subsequently continue:
...
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Couldn't get registers: No such process.
Couldn't get registers: No such process.
(gdb) Couldn't get registers: No such process.
(gdb) Couldn't get registers: No such process.
(gdb) Couldn't get registers: No such process.
<repeat>
...
gdb hangs which repeating the same warning.  Typing control-C no longer helps,
and we have to kill gdb using kill.

This is a regression since commit 873657b9e8 "Preserve selected thread in
all-stop w/ background execution".  The commit adds a
scoped_restore_current_thread typed variable restore_thread to
fetch_inferior_event, and the hang is caused by the constructor throwing an
exception.

Fix this by catching the exception in the constructor.

Build and reg-tested on x86_64-linux.

OK for trunk?

Thanks,
- Tom
