Fix read after xfree in linux-nat.c:linux_nat_detach
At the end of linux_nat_detach the main_lwp is deleted (delete_lwp). This is problematic as during detach (detach_one_lwp and linux_fork_detach) main_lwp already gets freed. Thus calling delete_lwp causes a read after free. Fix it by removing the unnecessary delete_lwp. gdb/ChangeLog: 2017-04-11 Philipp Rudo <prudo@linux.vnet.ibm.com> * linux-nat.c (linux_nat_detach): Remove delete_lwp call.
