Check arguments for all probes before using them
There is a long standing bug in the Arm toolchain where invalid stap probes get created due to the probes referring to symbols which have been resolved away. More details are here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1196181 When these invalid probes are present, GDB will create the breakpoints and then fail to stop. The errors are only spotted the first time GDB stops, which is too late. The solution is to ensure the arguments for all the probes are resolved before using them. This fixes >100 timeouts when running break-interp.exp when using bad probes. gdb/ChangeLog: * solib-svr4.c (svr4_find_and_create_probe_breakpoints): Check all probe arguments.
