gdb: fix possible uninitialised variable use
After this commit: commit 198ff6ff819c240545f9fc68b39636fd376d4ba9 Date: Tue Jan 30 15:37:23 2024 +0000 gdb/gdbserver: share x86/linux tdesc caching a possible use of an uninitialised variable was introduced, the 'tdesc' variable in i386_linux_core_read_description might be read without being written too if 'xcr0' was 0. This is fixed in this commit. I've updated the function to follow the same pattern as amd64_linux_core_read_description, if xcr0 is 0 then we select a default xcr0 value and use that to select a tdesc.
