[PATCH] [AArch64] Fix erroneous use of spu architecture bfd

[Luis Machado]

While investigating some SVE code, i noticed the use of two spu bfd variables.

This looks like an oversight, as the "id" field is available for non-spu
architectures as well, even though its primary use was the Cell BE
architecture.

The following patch fixes this.

gdb/ChangeLog:

2020-01-03  Luis Machado  <luis.machado@linaro.org>

	* aarch64-linux-nat.c
	(aarch64_linux_nat_target::thread_architecture): Use bfd_arch_aarch64
	and bfd_mach_aarch64.

I think the patch looks pretty clear to me ;-), so you can go ahead
and push.

Or perhaps, before doing so: Since the Gerrit experiment is being
put on hold, you might want to remove your commit hook, and then
remove the "Change-Id" field above...

Thanks for the patch!
