gdb/linux-nat: remove check based on current_inferior in linux_handle_extended_wait
The check removed by this patch, using current_inferior, looks wrong.
When debugging multiple inferiors with the Linux native target and
linux_handle_extended_wait is called, there's no guarantee about which
is the current inferior. The vfork-done event we receive could be for
any inferior. If the vfork-done event is for a non-current inferior, we
end up wrongfully ignoring it. As a result, the core never processes a
TARGET_WAITKIND_VFORK_DONE event, program_space::breakpoints_not_allowed
is never cleared, and breakpoints are never reinserted. However,
because the Linux native target decided to ignore the event, it resumed
the thread - while breakpoints out. And that's bad.
The proposed fix is to remove this check. Always report vfork-done
events and let infrun's logic decide if it should be ignored. We don't
save much cycles by filtering the event here.
Add a test that replicates the situation described above. See comments
in the test for more details.
