[PATCH][PING][PR gdb/19374] null-ptr dereference on solaris when running get_osdata( "processes" )

[Brian Vandenberg]

This patch is to address bug 19374 on solaris.

When running gdb under eclipse/CDT on Solaris, eclipse
runs gdb with:

gdb --interpreter mi2 --nx

During execution it ends up sending the following string to gdb:

16-list-thread-groups --available

... at which point gdb crashes.

There's a few issues I see with this function, not all of which I'm
prepared to deal with competently.

This patch partially reverts the change in the following:

... by re-adding the check for ops->beneath != NULL and returning
TARGET_XFER_E_IO.
