Make sure we don't resume the stepped thread by accident.
Say:
<stopped at a breakpoint in thread 2>
(gdb) thread 3
(gdb) step
The above triggers the prepare_to_proceed/deferred_step_ptid process,
which switches back to thread 2, to step over its breakpoint before
getting back to thread 3 and "step" it.
If while stepping over the breakpoint in thread 2, a signal arrives,
and it is set to pass/nostop, we'll set a step-resume breakpoint at
the supposed signal-handler resume address, and call keep_going. The
problem is that we were supposedly stepping thread 3, and that
keep_going delivers a signal to thread 2, and due to scheduler-locking
off, resumes everything else, _including_ thread 3, the thread we want
stepping. This means that we lose control of thread 3 until the next
event, when we stop everything. The end result for the user, is that
GDB lost control of the "step".
Here's the current infrun debug output of the above, with the testcase
in the patch below:

69 (*myp) ++; /* set breakpoint child_two here */
^^^ we stopped at the wrong line. We still stepped a bit because the
test is running in a loop, and when we got back to stepping thread 3,
it happened to be in the stepping range. (The loop increments a
counter, and the test makes sure it increments exactly once. Without
the fix, the counter increments a bunch, since the user-stepped thread
runs free without GDB noticing.)
The fix is to switch to the stepping thread before continuing for the
step-resume breakpoint.
