I'm not sure this is quite right.  Can this now cause leaks e.g.
because we did not properly call pthdb_session_destroy?

Also, I'm starting to wonder if using inferior_ptid is right here
in the first place.  For example, aix_thread_target::detach
actually gets an "inferior *" argument, which it then completely
ignores and instead tries to re-create an inferior from
inferior_ptid - this doesn't look right.

I guess pd_enable and pd_disable should be getting inferior *
arguments and use those, whenever available.
