[PATCH 10/12] detach with in-line step over in progress

A following patch will add a testcase that has a number of threads
constantly stepping over a breakpoint, and then has GDB detach the
process.  That testcase exercises both "set displaced-stepping
on/off".  Testing with "set displaced-stepping off" reveals that GDB
does not handle the case of the user typing "detach" just while some
thread is in the middle of an in-line step over.  If that thread
belongs to the inferior that is being detached, then the step-over
never finishes, and threads of other inferiors are never re-resumed.
This fixes it.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* infrun.c (struct step_over_info): Initialize fields.
	(prepare_for_detach): Handle ongoing in-line step over.
