[PATCH] Check for valid inferior before sending tracepoint packets

[Luis Machado <lgustavo@codesourcery.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 368 bytes --]

This almost trivial patch prevents GDB from sending a few tracepoint 
packets when no inferior is selected. This robustifies things a bit and 
complements the fix Antoine submitted for gdbserver.

I'm not quite sure how a testcase for this would look like given it 
needs extended-remote mode and also needs to connect to the target 
without a running inferior.

	* tracefile.c: Include inferior.h.
	(trace_save_command): Error out if no inferior is selected.
	* tracepoint.c (trace_start_command): Likewise.
	(trace_stop_command): Likewise.
	(trace_status_command): Likewise.
	(trace_status_mi): Return if no inferior is selected.
	(trace_find_command): Error out if no inferior is selected.
	(trace_dump_command): Likewise.
