gdb/remote: use current_inferior in read_ptid if multi-process not supported
When parsing the ptid out of a reply package, if the multi-process
extensions are not supported, use current_inferior's pid as the pid of
the reported thread, instead of inferior_ptid. This is needed because
the inferior_ptid may be null_ptid although a legit context exists,
due to a prior context switch via switch_to_inferior_no_thread.
Below is a scenario that illustrates what could go wrong. First,
setup a multi-target scenario. This is needed, because in a
multi-target setting, the inferior_ptid is cleared out before waiting
on targets. The second inferior below sits on top of a remote target.
Multi-process packets are disabled.

GDB tried to stop Thread 42000.26253.0, which does not exist, and we
are waiting for a stop event that will never happen. The PID in
'42000.26253.0', namely 42000, is the PID of magic_null_ptid.
It comes from gdb/remote.c:read_ptid:
/* Since the stub is not sending a process id, then default to
what's in inferior_ptid, unless it's null at this point. If so,
then since there's no way to know the pid of the reported
threads, use the magic number. */
if (inferior_ptid == null_ptid)
pid = magic_null_ptid.pid ();
else
pid = inferior_ptid.pid ();
if (obuf)
*obuf = pp;
return ptid_t (pid, tid);
Because multi-process was turned off, GDB did not parse an explicitly
specified PID. Furthermore, inferior_ptid == null_ptid, and
eventually GDB picked the PID from magic_null_ptid.
If target-non-stop is not turned on at the beginning, the same bug
reveals itself as a duplicated thread as shown below.
# Same setup as above, without 'maint set target-non-stop on'.

Fix the problem by preferring current_inferior()'s pid instead of
magic_null_ptid.
Regression-tested on X86-64 Linux.
