RFA: Fix check for no-saved-pc


There's a check in get_prev_frame to see if the next saved pc
is zero.  I think it has an off-by-one error, and is checking 
for the pc of the wrong frame.

To test this, I took the corefile that's generated by the
testsuite (gdb.base/corefile.exp), edited it with khexedit, 
and nulled out one of the saved return addresses on the stack.

This is the gdb output before my change:

Core was generated by `gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/coremaker'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
#0  0x40000402 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
(gdb) bt

#5  0x00000000 in ?? ()
(gdb) 

And this is the output with the attached patch:

Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC
(gdb) 

No other test suite changes, tests run on native i386 linux.

	* frame.c (get_prev_frame): Remove unused local variable.
	(get_prev_frame): Check for null saved pc in the following
	("prev") frame, not the current (already valid) frame.
	Set up stop_reason conditions for printing stop reason.
