Fix crash on optimized-out entry data values

The tests at
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-07/msg00277.html> show
that comparing a fully optimized out value's contents with a value
that has not been optimized out, or is partially optimized out crashes

The 'ptr2=0x0' in frame #1 is val2->contents, and since git 4f14910f:

    gdb/ChangeLog
    2013-11-26  Andrew Burgess  <aburgess@broadcom.com>

        * value.c (allocate_optimized_out_value): Mark value as non-lazy.

... a fully optimized-out value can have it's value contents buffer
NULL.

As a spotgap fix, revert 4f14910f, with a comment.  A full fix would
be too invasive for 7.8.

	* value.c (allocate_optimized_out_value): Don't mark value as
	non-lazy.
