[PATCH 3/4] scripts/gdb: Make get_thread_info accept pointers

[Florian Rommel]

get_thread_info ($lx_thread_info) only accepted a dereferenced task
parameter.  Passing a pointer to a task_struct (like $lx_per_cpu does with
KGDB) threw an exception.

With this patch, both (dereferenced values and pointers) are accepted.

Before (on x86, KGDB):
>>> p $lx_per_cpu(cpu_info)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./scripts/gdb/linux/cpus.py", line 158, in invoke
    return per_cpu(var_ptr, cpu)

       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^
