[PATCH v3 2/4] Remove previous frame if an error occurs when computing frame id during unwind.

[Andrew Burgess <aburgess@broadcom.com>]

In get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle, if we throw an error during compute_frame_id
then we are left in a state where THIS_FRAME has a PREV_FRAME attached, but
PREV_FRAME has no frame id.  This is an unexpected state that causes
internal errors and assertions to fire.

This patch adds a cleanup that removes the previous frame created by
get_prev_frame_raw if we get an error.

OK to apply?

Thanks,
Andrew



gdb/ChangeLog:

	* frame.c (remove_prev_frame): New function.
	(get_prev_frame_if_no_cycle): Create / discard cleanup using
	remove_prev_frame.
