    [aarch64] tpidr2: Fix erroneous detection logic for TPIDR2
    
    The detection logic for TPIDR2 was implemented incorrectly.  Originally
    the detection was supposed to be through a ptrace error code, but in reality,
    for backwards compatibility, the detection should be based on the size of
    the returned iovec.
    
    For instance, if a target supports both TPIDR and TPIDR2, ptrace will return a
    iovec size of 16.  If a target only supports TPIDR and not TPIDR2, it will
    return a iovec size of 8, even if we asked for 16 bytes.
    
    This patch fixes this issue in code that is shared between gdb and gdbserver,
    therefore both gdb and gdbserver are fixed.
    
    Tested on AArch64/Linux Ubuntu 20.04.
