Consecutive step-overs trigger internal error.
If a thread trips on a breakpoint that needs stepping over just after
finishing a step over, GDB currently fails an assertion. This is a
regression caused by the "Handle multiple step-overs." patch

../../src/gdb/infrun.c:5200: internal-error: switch_back_to_stepped_thread: Assertion `!tp->control.trap_expected' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
FAIL: gdb.base/consecutive-step-over.exp: continue to breakpoint: break here (GDB internal error)
The assertion fails, because the code is not expecting that the event
thread itself might need another step over. IOW, not expecting that
TP in:
tp = find_thread_needs_step_over (stepping_thread != NULL,
stepping_thread);
could be the event thread.
A small fix for this would be to clear the event thread's
trap_expected earlier, before asserting. But looking deeper, although
currently_stepping_or_nexting_callback's intention is finding the
thread that is doing a step/next, it also returns the thread that is
doing a step-over dance, with trap_expected set. If there ever was a
reason for that (it was I who added
currently_stepping_or_nexting_callback , but I can't recall why I put
trap_expected there in the first place), the only remaining reason
nowadays is to aid in implementing switch_back_to_stepped_thread's
assertion that is now triggering, by piggybacking on the walk over all
threads, thus avoiding a separate walk. This is quite obscure, and I
think we can do even better, by merging the walks that look for the
stepping thread, and the walk that looks for some thread that might
need a step over.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17, native and gdbserver, and also native on
top of my "software single-step on x86_64" series.

* infrun.c (schedlock_applies): New function, factored out from
find_thread_needs_step_over.
(find_thread_needs_step_over): Use it.
(switch_back_to_stepped_thread): Always clear trap_expected if the
step over is finished. Return early if scheduler locking applies.
Look for the stepping thread and a potential step-over thread with
a single loop.
(currently_stepping_or_nexting_callback): Delete.
