[PATCH 4/6] native/Linux: internal error if inferior disappears after stopped by breakpoint


If the inferior disappears just after it was stopped at a breakpoint,
GDB internal errors on next resume:

 Executing on target: kill -9 11605    (timeout = 300)
 spawn -ignore SIGHUP kill -9 11605
 continue
 Continuing.
 /home/pedro/gdb/mygit/src/gdb/linux-nat.c:2590: internal-error: status_callback: Assertion `lp->status != 0' failed.

This is because the thread had stopped for a breakpoint, and had
already reported the event, so its ->status flag was cleared.  The
lwp's stopped, etc., flags should only be cleared when we're sure the
LWP was successfully resumed (see PR gdb/15713, git 8817a6f2).  So the
next resume hits an ESRCH error which throws before those flags are
cleared.  GDB core prints the error, and ends up calling target_wait
to poll remaining events.  We then trip on the assertion.

Fix this by bailing out earlier.  GDBserver is already doing this.

A follow up patch will add a test that exercises this
(gdb.base/killed-outside.exp).

	* linux-nat.c (status_callback): Return early if the LWP has no
	status pending.
