    gdb: fix possible uninitialised variable use
    
    After this commit:
    
      commit 198ff6ff819c240545f9fc68b39636fd376d4ba9

          gdb/gdbserver: share x86/linux tdesc caching
    
    a possible use of an uninitialised variable was introduced, the
    'tdesc' variable in i386_linux_core_read_description might be read
    without being written too if 'xcr0' was 0.
    
    This is fixed in this commit.  I've updated the function to follow the
    same pattern as amd64_linux_core_read_description, if xcr0 is 0 then
    we select a default xcr0 value and use that to select a tdesc.
