Fix step-over-{trips-on-watchpoint|lands-on-breakpoint}.exp race
On a target that is both always in non-stop mode and can do displaced
stepping (such as native x86_64 GNU/Linux, with "maint set
target-non-stop on"), the step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp test
sometimes fails like this:
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: no thread-specific bp: step: thread 1
set scheduler-locking off
(gdb) PASS: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: no thread-specific bp: step: set scheduler-locking off

+(gdb) FAIL: gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.exp: no thread-specific bp: step: step
Note "scheduler-locking" was set off. The problem is that on such
targets, the step-over of thread 2 and the "step" of thread 1 can be
set to run simultaneously (since with displaced stepping the
breakpoint isn't ever removed from the target), and sometimes, the
"step" of thread 1 finishes first, so it'd take another resume to see
the watchpoint trigger. Fix this by replacing the wait_threads
function with a one-line infinite loop that doesn't call any function,
so that the "step" of thread 1 never finishes.
gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:
2015-08-07 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
* gdb.threads/step-over-lands-on-breakpoint.c (wait_threads):
Delete function.
(main): Add alarm. Run an infinite loop instead of calling
wait_threads.
* gdb.threads/step-over-lands-on-breakpoint.exp (do_test): Change
comment.
* gdb.threads/step-over-trips-on-watchpoint.c (wait_threads):
Delete function.
