Linux/ptrace: don't convert ptids when asking inf-ptrace layer to resume LWP

Ref: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2015-03/msg00060.html

The record-btrace target can hit an assertion here:

 Breakpoint 1, record_btrace_fetch_registers (ops=0x974bfc0 <record_btrace_ops>,
     regcache=0x9a0a798, regno=8) at gdb/record-btrace.c:1202
 1202	  gdb_assert (tp != NULL);

 (gdb) p regcache->ptid
 $3 = {pid = 23856, lwp = 0, tid = 0}

The problem is that the linux-nat layer converts the ptid to a
single-process ptid before passing the request down to the inf-ptrace
layer, which loses information, and then record-btrace can't find the
corresponding thread in GDB's thread list:

 ...

The fix is just to not lose information, and let the intact ptid reach
record-btrace.c.

Tested on x86-64 Fedora 20, -m32.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2015-03-03  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* i386-linux-nat.c (i386_linux_resume): Get the ptrace PID out of
	the lwp field of ptid.  Pass the full ptid to get_thread_regcache.
	* inf-ptrace.c (get_ptrace_pid): New function.
	(inf_ptrace_resume): Use it.
	* linux-nat.c (linux_resume_one_lwp): Pass the LWP's ptid ummodified
	to the lower layer.
