The cause of this issue is when linux_kill call "find_inferior (&all_threads, kill_one_lwp_callback , &pid)"
to kill all the lwp of pid.
In linux_wait_for_event, it will delete_lwp any lwp in all_threads if it
get exit event of it.  Then it make find_inferior crash.

I make a patch that let kill_one_lwp_callback return 1, then after
linux_wait_for_event is called(Maybe all_threads is changed), find_inferior
will return.
And change call "find_inferior (&all_threads, kill_one_lwp_callback , &pid)"
to be a loop.  It will stop when all_threads doesn't have any lwp is pid.

It pass regression test in x86_64 Linux. 

Thanks,
Hui

	* linux-low.c (kill_one_lwp_callback): Change last return to 1.
	(linux_kill): Call find_inferior with a loop.
