[PATCH 2/2] gdb: Fix testsuite issue in gdb.arch/amd64-disp-step-avx.exp

Hi Andrew,

Sounds fine to me in principle.  A couple comments below.

This leaves a slight disconnect between the comment and the
code.  I.e., someone reading the comment may wonder why
we check more than xmm0?

Also, should we test xmm1-15 are still 0 after, too, for
completeness?
