Fix using uninitialised values

However, before this change, ptid is initialised to null_ptid. This error can be found by valgrind too... ==3298== at 0x6B99BA: ptid_equal (ptid.c:80) ==3298== by 0x4C67FF: get_current_thread (remote.c:3484) ==3298== by 0x4C6951: add_current_inferior_and_thread (remote.c:3511) ==3298== by 0x4C762C: extended_remote_create_inferior (remote.c:8506) ==3298== by 0x5A5312: run_command_1 (infcmd.c:606) ==3298== by 0x68B4FB: execute_command (top.c:463) ==3298== by 0x5C7214: command_handler (event-top.c:494) ==3298== by 0x5C78A3: command_line_handler (event-top.c:692) ==3298== by 0x6DEB57: rl_callback_read_char (callback.c:220) ==3298== by 0x5C7278: rl_callback_read_char_wrapper (event-top.c:171) ==3298== by 0x5C72C2: stdin_event_handler (event-top.c:432) ==3298== by 0x5C6194: gdb_wait_for_event (event-loop.c:834) This patch initialises local variable ptid to null in get_current_thread. We don't need to initialise ptid in add_current_inferior_and_thread, so this patch also removes the ptid initialisation. gdb: 2015-07-17 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org> * remote.c (get_current_thread): Initialise ptid to null_ptid. (add_current_inferior_and_thread): Don't initialise ptid.
