Fix '-data-read-memory-bytes' typo/assertion
Backported to the 7.10 branch per this thread:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2016-02/msg00134.html
This patch fixes a typo in target.c:read_memory_robust, where
it calls read_whatever_is_readable with the function arguments
in the wrong order. Depending on the address being read, it
can cause an xmalloc with a huge size, resulting in an assertion
failure, or just read something other than what was requested.
The problem only arises when GDB is handling an MI
"-data-read-memory-bytes" request and the initial target_read returns
an error status. Note that read_memory_robust is only called from
the MI code.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* gdb/target.c (read_memory_robust): Call
read_whatever_is_readable with arguments in the correct order.
