Add test case for a known hang in infrun
The hang occurs when GDB tries to call inferior functions on two different threads with scheduler-locking turned on. The first call works fine, with the call to infrun_async(1) causing the signal_handler to be marked and the event to be handled, but then the event loop resets the "ready" member to zero, while leaving infrun_is_async set to 1. As a result, GDB hangs if the user switches to another thread and calls a second function because calling infrun_async(1) a second time has no effect, meaning the inferior call events are never handled. The added test case provokes the above issue. gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: * gdb.threads/multiple-successive-infcall.c: New test. * gdb.threads/multiple-successive-infcall.exp: New file.
