Suppose we have two inferiors on an all-stop target with schedule-multi
set on:

  $ gdb -q
  (gdb) target extended-remote | gdbserver --multi -
  Remote debugging using | gdbserver --multi -
  Remote debugging using stdio
  (gdb) file /temp/test
  Reading symbols from /temp/test...
  (gdb) set remote exec-file /temp/test
  (gdb) start
  Temporary breakpoint 1 at 0x115c: file test.c, line 8.
  Starting program: /temp/test
  stdin/stdout redirected
  Process /temp/test created; pid = 864027
  ...

  Temporary breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffd218) at test.c:8
  8         foo();
  (gdb) add-inferior
  [New inferior 2]
  Added inferior 2 on connection 1 (extended-remote | gdbserver --multi -)
  (gdb) inferior 2
  [Switching to inferior 2 [<null>] (<noexec>)]
  (gdb) file /temp/test
  Reading symbols from /temp/test...
  (gdb) set remote exec-file /temp/test
  (gdb) tbreak 2
  Temporary breakpoint 2 at 0x555555555131: /temp/test.c:2. (2 locations)
  (gdb) run
  Starting program: /temp/test
  stdin/stdout redirected
  Process /temp/test created; pid = 864430
  ...

  Thread 2.1 "test" hit Temporary breakpoint 2, foo () at test.c:2
  2         int a = 42;
  (gdb) set schedule-multi on
  (gdb)

At this point, detaching the first inferior works fine:

  (gdb) detach inferiors 1
  Detaching from program: /temp/test, process 858904
  Detaching from process 858904
  [Inferior 1 (process 858904) detached]
  (gdb) info inferiors
    Num  Description       Connection                                Executable
    1    <null>            1 (extended-remote | gdbserver --multi -) /temp/test
  * 2    process 858925    1 (extended-remote | gdbserver --multi -) /temp/test
  (gdb)

Let us now repeat exactly the same scenario, but before detaching, we
make the current thread single-step an instruction:

  ...
  Thread 2.1 "test" hit Temporary breakpoint 2, foo () at test.c:2
  2         int a = 42;
  (gdb) stepi
  3         int b = 43;
  (gdb) detach inferiors 1
  Detaching from program: /temp/test, process 876580
  Detaching from process 876580
  gdbserver: Couldn't reap LWP 876580 while detaching: No child processes
  [Inferior 1 (process 876580) detached]
  (gdb) 3   int b = 43;

There is a mysterious line info output.  Running the scenario with
infrun debug logs reveals more information.

  ...
  Thread 2.1 "test" hit Temporary breakpoint 2, foo () at test.c:2
  2         int a = 42;
  (gdb) stepi
  3         int b = 43;
  (gdb) set debug infrun on
  (gdb) detach inferiors 1

GDB attempted to do a step-over for the current thread.  This takes us
to the commit that introduced restarting step-overs:

  commit 408f66864a1a823591b26420410c982174c239a2
  Author: Pedro Alves <pedro@palves.net>
  Date:   Mon Jan 11 20:01:58 2021 +0000

    detach in all-stop with threads running

    A following patch will add a testcase that has a number of threads
    constantly stepping over a breakpoint, and then has GDB detach the
    process, while threads are running.  If we have more than one inferior
    running, and we detach from just one of the inferiors, we expect that
    the remaining inferior continues running.  However, in all-stop, if
    GDB needs to pause the target for the detach, nothing is re-resuming
    the other inferiors after the detach.  "info threads" shows the
    threads as running, but they really aren't.  This fixes it.

However, the thread that was resumed for step-over in our scenario did
not have an interrupted step-over; it had completed its stepi already.
More debugging reveals that the thread is resumed because of the
following two conditions in `restart_stepped_thread`:

      if (tp->control.trap_expected)
        {
          infrun_debug_printf ("switching back to stepped thread (step-over)");

          if (keep_going_stepped_thread (tp))
            return true;
        }

and

      if (tp->control.step_range_end)
        {
          infrun_debug_printf ("switching back to stepped thread (stepping)");

          if (keep_going_stepped_thread (tp))
            return true;
        }

The root cause of the problem is, the 'trap_expected' and the
'step_range_end' fields of the thread's control remain set even after
the "stepi" command completes.  We fix the problem by clearing the
control fields when stepping completes.  We also add a regression test.

Regression-tested using the default, native-gdbserver, and
native-extended-gdbserver board files.
