[PATCH] Don't switch to the event thread early in non-stop mode.


It is largely no longer necessary to special case non-stop mode, WRT
caring about the current context being set (the real "context
switching" context_switch used to exist for, is gone) before calling
handle_inferior event.  Trying to harmonize all-stop and non-stop
modes a bit further, this removes that non-stop special casing.  I
went through handle_inferior_event looking for places that miss
switching to the event thread and made them do so.  The missing
switching was never missed for single-process all-stop, but it's
important for both multi-process all-stop, and non-stop, so we don't
e.g., remove breakpoints in the context of a previously selected
inferior or thread that has already exited, or is presently running.
I actually was going to push a patch that centralized all the
context_switch calls at the top of handle_inferior_event (and I've
mentioned wanted to do it before a few times in the past years), but
in the end decided against, mostly because it felt counter to all the
parameterization in handle_inferior_event that moves away from global
state.

Tested on x86_64 Fedora 16, native and gdbserver, and applied.

	* infrun.c (infrun_thread_stop_requested_callback): Don't switch
	threads here.
	(prepare_for_detach): No longer context switch here in non-stop
	mode.
	(fetch_inferior_event): Ditto.
	(handle_inferior_event) <STOP_QUIETLY || NO_STOP_QUIETLY>: Switch
	to the event thread before removing breakpoints.  Switch to the
	event thread before inserting breakpoints and resuming.
	(handle_inferior_event) <TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS>: Switch to the
	event thread before resuming.
	(handle_inferior_event) <stepping_past_singlestep_breakpoint>:
	Switch to the event thread before removing breakpoints.
