Don't displaced step when there's a breakpoint in the scratch pad range
Assuming displaced stepping is enabled, and a breakpoint is set in the
memory region of the scratch pad, things break. One of two cases can
happen:
#1 - The breakpoint wasn't inserted yet (all threads were stopped), so
after setting up the displaced stepping scratch pad with the
adjusted copy of the instruction we're trying to single-step, we
insert the breakpoint, which corrupts the scratch pad, and the
inferior executes the wrong instruction. (Example below.)
This is clearly unacceptable.
#2 - The breakpoint was already inserted, so setting up the displaced
stepping scratch pad overwrites the breakpoint. This is OK in
the sense that we already assume that no thread is going to
executes the code in the scratch pad range (after initial
startup) anyway.
This commit addresses both cases by simply punting on displaced
stepping if we have a breakpoint in the scratch pad range.
The #1 case above explains a few regressions exposed by the AS/NS
series on x86:

Enabling "maint set target-non-stop on" implies displaced stepping
enabled as well, and it's the latter that's to blame here. We can see
the same failures with "maint set target-non-stop off + set displaced
on".

The problem is here, when setting up the func call:

Note the breakpoint at main is set at 0x080481c1. Right at the
instruction that sets up func's argument. Executing that instruction
should write 0x4d to the address pointed at by $esp. However, if we
stepi, the program manages to write 52301/0xcc4d there instead (0xcc
is int3, the x86 breakpoint instruction), because the breakpoint
address is 4 bytes inside the scratch pad location, which is
0x080481bd:
(gdb) p 0x080481c1 - 0x080481bd
$1 = 4
IOW, instead of executing:
"c7 04 24 4d 00 00 00" [ movl $0x4d,(%esp) ]
the inferior executes:
"c7 04 24 4d cc 00 00" [ movl $0xcc4d,(%esp) ]
gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-10-30 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* breakpoint.c (breakpoint_in_range_p)
(breakpoint_location_address_range_overlap): New functions.
* breakpoint.h (breakpoint_in_range_p): New declaration.
* infrun.c (displaced_step_prepare_throw): If there's a breakpoint
in the scratch pad range, don't displaced step.
