[binutils-gdb] Fix macOS null pointer dereference


https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=59f413d5412217c5c6f9e25d0279a1997426d60a

    Fix macOS null pointer dereference
    
    <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22960#c4> reports
    that macOS gdb crashes with a null pointer dereference in
    push_target(struct target_ops *).  This commit fixes that.
    
    The problem is that commit f6ac5f3d63e0 ("Convert struct target_ops to
    C++") left the darwin_ops global uninitialized.
    
    We don't need that global anymore, we can use the (new)
    get_native_target function instead for the same effect.
    
    gdb/ChangeLog:
    2018-06-04  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>
    
    	* darwin-nat.c (darwin_ops): Delete.
    	(darwin_attach_pid): Use get_native_target.
