[commit] Fix GDB crash due to endless recursion in namespace lookup

Found it.  There is a mechanism to prevent infinite recursion, the
"searched" flag in struct using_directive, which is used in 
cp-namespace.c:cp_lookup_symbol_imports.  However, for some reason,
a similar recursive loop in cp-support.c:make_symbol_overload_list_using
did not use this flag, causing the problem.

Fixed in the obvious way by the patch below.
Tested on s390x-ibm-linux, committed to mainline.

Bye,
Ulrich


ChangeLog:

	* cp-support.c (reset_directive_searched): New function.
	(make_symbol_overload_list_using): Prevent recursive calls.
