this code is only executed when there is a child process so the guard isn't needed. Tested on GNU/Linux, no change in test results.
ok?
From memory, I think this code was to guard against the corefile case.
When you load a corefile, you may call thread_db_new_objfile, but
you won't have a child process. Is that no longer the case? Does
loading a corefile no longer cause this function to be called?
