[PATCH] target_is_non_stop_p and sync targets

[PATCH] target_is_non_stop_p and sync targets

[Pedro Alves]

gdb.base/maint-target-async-off.exp fails if you test against
gdbserver with "maint set target-non-stop on" forced.

  (gdb) run
  Starting program: build/gdb/testsuite/outputs/gdb.base/maint-target-async-off/maint-target-async-off

  Breakpoint 1, main () at src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/maint-target-async-off.c:21
  21        return 0;
  (gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/maint-target-async-off.exp: continue until exit (timeout)

Above, GDB just stopped listing to stdin.

Basically, GDB assumes that a target working in non-stop mode
operation also supports async mode; it's a requirement.  GDB
misbehaves badly otherwise, and even hits failed assertions.

Fix this my making target_is_non_stop_p return false if async is off.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* target.c (target_always_non_stop_p): Also check whether the
	target can async.
