* linux-nat.c (lin_lwp_attach_lwp): Return a status. Do not

	add the LWP to our list until we are attached.  Warn instead
	of erroring if the attach fails.
	* linux-nat.h (lin_lwp_attach_lwp): New prototype.
	* linux-thread-db.c (attach_thread): Call lin_lwp_attach_lwp
	directly.  Do not add the thread to our list until we are
	successfully attached.
	* config/nm-linux.h (lin_lwp_attach_lwp, ATTACH_LWP): Delete.
