[RFC PATCH v5 8/9] Link frame_info to thread_info

Linux kernel stacks on S390 are spread over several memory locations.
These locations differ for every kernel task/thread.  Thus we need to know
to which task/thread a frame belongs to check whether a stack pointer is
valid and when to stop unwinding.  To do so add a pointer to the
corresponding thread_info to frame_info.

This connection already exists implicitly, via inferior_ptid, due to the
fact that switch_to_thread reinitializes the frame cache.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* frame.h (frame_get_thread): New extern declaration.
	* frame.c (frame_info) <thread>: New field.
	(frame_get_thread): New function.
	(create_sentinel_frame, create_new_frame, get_prev_frame_raw): Set
	new field.
