[patch] Code cleanup: bpstat_alloc calling semantics standardization

[Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil@redhat.com>]

Hi,

this is just for the second patch I am going to send in a minute.  I would not
patch it standalone but I could not manage to code anything on top of it.

No regressions on {x86_64,x86_64-m32,i686}-fedora14snapshot-linux-gnu.
(Tested together with the second patch.)


Thanks,
Jan

	Code cleanup.
	* breakpoint.c (bpstat_alloc): Remove unused prototype.
	(bpstat_alloc): Change parameters cbs to bs_link_pointer.  Adjust the
	code.
	(bpstat_stop_status): Change root_bs into bs_head and bs_link.  Adjust
	calls of bpstat_alloc.  Remove explicit bs chain termination.
