Florian Rommel 7566b063e9 scripts/gdb: make get_thread_info accept pointers
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):

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
