[binutils-gdb] Fix PR gdb/19828: gdb -p <process from a container>: internal error


*** TEST RESULTS FOR COMMIT 026a91747567565bf2956fae98fed6a958151aab ***

Fix PR gdb/19828: gdb -p <process from a container>: internal error

When GDB attaches to a process, it looks at the /proc/PID/task/ dir
for all clone threads of that process, and attaches to each of them.

Usually, if there is more than one clone thread, it means the program
is multi threaded and linked with pthreads.  Thus when GDB soon after
attaching finds and loads a libthread_db matching the process, it'll
add a thread to the thread list for each of the initially found
lower-level LWPs.

If, however, GDB fails to find/load a matching libthread_db, nothing
is adding the LWPs to the thread list.  And because of that, "detach"
hits an internal error:

  (gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/clone-attach-detach.exp: fg attach 1: attach
  info threads
    Id   Target Id         Frame

  A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
  further debugging may prove unreliable.
  Quit this debugging session? (y or n)
  FAIL: gdb.threads/clone-attach-detach.exp: fg attach 1: detach (GDB internal error)

Tested on x86-64 Fedora 23.  Also confirmed the test passes against
gdbserver with "maint set target-non-stop".
