[commit] Handle LWPs that have died without leaving a status

[Kevin Buettner <kevinb@redhat.com>]

I've just committed the patch below.  It's been sitting in one of my
trees for a while and I don't remember all that much about it.  I do
know that without this code, RDA will error out when using certain
linux kernel versions with the message:

    <<< ERROR -- tkill (680, Stopped (signal)) failed: No such process >>>

I believe that this would occur because RDA was attempting to stop a
process which had already exited.  Apparently, there were certain (buggy)
kernels which would fail to leave an exit status.

	* lwp-pool.c (mark_lwp_as_dead_but_interesting): New function.
	(wait_and_handle): Replace lines of code implementing guts of
	new function mark_lwp_as_dead_but_interesting() with call to
	that function.  Make a new call to this function after it
	has been determined that an lwp has exited without leaving a
	status.
