Fix gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp fails on arm
Hi,
Some tests in gdb.threads/multiple-step-overs.exp fail on arm target
when the displaced stepping on, but they pass when displaced stepping
is off.

GDB resumes the whole process (all threads) rather than the specific
thread for which GDB wants to step over the breakpoint (as shown in [1]).
That is wrong because we resume a single thread and leave others stopped
when doing a normal step over where we temporarily remove the breakpoint,
single-step, reinsert the breakpoint, is that if we let other threads run
in the period while the breakpoint is removed, then these other threads
could miss the breakpoint. Since with displaced stepping, we don't ever
remove the breakpoint, it should be fine to let other threads run. However,
there's another reason that we should not let other threads run: that is
the case where some of those threads are also stopped for a breakpoint that
itself needs to be stepped over. If we just let those threads run, then
they immediately re-trap their breakpoint again.
when displaced stepping is off, GDB behaves correctly, only resumes
the specific thread (as shown in [2]).

The current logic in GDB on deciding the set of threads to resume is:
/* Decide the set of threads to ask the target to resume. */
if ((step || thread_has_single_step_breakpoints_set (tp))
&& tp->control.trap_expected)
{
/* We're allowing a thread to run past a breakpoint it has
hit, by single-stepping the thread with the breakpoint
removed. In which case, we need to single-step only this
thread, and keep others stopped, as they can miss this
breakpoint if allowed to run. */
resume_ptid = inferior_ptid;
}
else
resume_ptid = internal_resume_ptid (user_step);
it doesn't handle the case correctly that GDB continue (instead of
single step) the thread for displaced stepping.
I also update the comment below to reflect the code. I remove the
"with the breakpoint removed" comment, because GDB doesn't remove
breakpoints in displaced stepping, so we don't have to worry that
other threads may miss the breakpoint.
Patch is regression tested on both x86_64-linux and arm-linux.
