[committed][gdb/testsuite] Fix gdb.dwarf2/dw2-error.exp with -readnow

[Tom de Vries]

Hi,

With test-case gdb.dwarf2/dw2-error.exp and target board readnow, we get:
...
FAIL: gdb.dwarf2/dw2-error.exp: break -q main
...

In the normal case, after running into the dwarf error, the minimal symbols
are still available, but with -readnow this is not the case.

Mark the FAIL as KFAIL.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

Committed to trunk.

Thanks,
- Tom

I didn't understand this explanation.
What's going on here?  Is gdb is rejecting the objfile due to a DWARF
problem?
