So there was fallout, namely

FAIL: g++.dg/debug/dwarf2/lambda1.C  -std=gnu++11  scan-assembler-times 
DW_TAG_variable[^.]*.ascii "this.0" 2
FAIL: g++.dg/debug/dwarf2/lambda1.C  -std=gnu++14  scan-assembler-times 
DW_TAG_variable[^.]*.ascii "this.0" 2

see the PR for analysis.  The following revised patch mitigates this
by relying not on !context_die but on an explicit local_scope_p
for fulfilling the last part of the overall comment of this section:

         to have the same parent.  For local class methods, this doesn't
         apply; we just use the old DIE.  */

LTO bootstrapped and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, bootstrapped
and tested on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

I have applied the patch for now, as said, I'm happy to revise later.

Richard.
