Heres the gdb log with run (no other command b/w connection and run):
https://paste.ubuntu.com/26496015/
Heres the gdb log with continue + run (after we issue a continue/interrupt
cycle where inferior PID is set and inferior->control.stop_soon =
NO_STOP_QUIETLY;) https://paste.ubuntu.com/26496048/

The situation with OpenOCD happens because we ran and set inferior pid to
null hoping to update it. Later in extended_remote_create_inferior called
buy run command thread pid gets assigned but we are checking
inferior->control.stop_soon
just before we update the pid and thus it remains to STOP_QUIETLY for
lifetime of the inferior as this flag is only altered by attach command
handlers or during call of clear_proceed_status
