[PATCH 6/8] Set proc->priv->new_inferior out of linux_add_process

Nowadays, we set proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 inside linux_add_process,
and new_inferior is used as a flag to initialise target description later.
linux_add_process is used for the three cases, fork/vfork event
(handle_extended_wait), run the program (linux_create_inferior), and
attach to the process (linux_attach).  In the first case, the child's
target description is copied from parent's, so we don't need to initialise
target description again later, which means we don't need to set
proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 in this case.  For the rest of two cases,
we need this flag.

This patch move the code setting proc->priv->new_inferior to 1 inside
linux_add_process to linux_create_inferior and linux_attach.  No
functionality is changed.

gdb/gdbserver:

2015-07-16  Yao Qi  <yao.qi@linaro.org>

	* linux-low.c (linux_add_process): Don't set
	proc->priv->new_inferior.
	(linux_create_inferior): Set proc->priv->new_inferior to 1.
	(linux_attach): Likewise.
