[RFA] gcore/linux-proc fix

[Elena Zannoni]

This patch fixes some problems with the gcore command on single
threaded programs.  Before the patch, the core file did not report
anywhere the PID of the process:


  CORE                 144  PRSTATUS
    SIGINFO:  signo: 0, code = 0, errno = 0
    signal: 0, pending: 00000000, holding: 00000000
    pid: 0, ppid = 0, pgrp = 0, sid = 0
  ^^^^^^^^^


     utime:      0.000000s,  stime:      0.000000s
    cutime:      0.000000s, cstime:      0.000000s
    eax: fffffffc  ebx: bfffc4a4  ecx: bfffc4a4  edx: b75d79f8
    esi: bfffc5bc  edi: bfffc53c  ebp: bfffc648  esp: bfffc484
    eip: b75ebc02  eflags: 00000246, original eax: 000000a2
    cs: 0023  ds: 002b  es: 002b  fs: 0000  gs: 0033  ss: 002b




after the patch:


  CORE                 144  PRSTATUS
    SIGINFO:  signo: 0, code = 0, errno = 0
    signal: 0, pending: 00000000, holding: 00000000
    pid: 5846, ppid = 0, pgrp = 0, sid = 0
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^

     utime:      0.000000s,  stime:      0.000000s
    cutime:      0.000000s, cstime:      0.000000s
    eax: fffffffc  ebx: bffff674  ecx: bffff674  edx: b75d79f8
    esi: bffff78c  edi: bffff70c  ebp: bffff818  esp: bffff654
    eip: b75ebc02  eflags: 00000246, original eax: 000000a2
    cs: 0023  ds: 002b  es: 002b  fs: 0000  gs: 0033  ss: 002b

  CORE                 108  FPREGSET
  LINUX                512  <unknown>: 1189489535



Note also that if the function to write the note section is called via
the iterator for multi-threaded programs
(i.e. linux_corefile_thread_callback),
registers_changed()/target_fetch_registers() are called, but if
invoked directly for the single-threaded case,
registers_changed()/target_fetch_registers() are not called.
So I added a wrapper to do that.

It all works fine with multi-threaded apps.

	* linux-proc.c (linux_do_registers): New function.
	(linux_make_note_section): Use linux_do_registers in case of
	single threaded inferior programs.
