Fix using uninitialised values

but after the refactor, local variable ptid is used without
initialisation.  However, before this change, ptid is initialised to
null_ptid.  This error can be found by valgrind too...

This patch initialises local variable ptid to null in get_current_thread.
We don't need to initialise ptid in add_current_inferior_and_thread,
so this patch also removes the ptid initialisation.

gdb:

2015-07-17  Yao Qi  <yao.qi@linaro.org>

	* remote.c (get_current_thread): Initialise ptid to null_ptid.
	(add_current_inferior_and_thread): Don't initialise ptid.
