Subject: [PATCH] inf-ptrace.c: use ptid_get_pid when resuming all threads

In this case, we want to resume the entire process and not an
individual thread.  Using the overall process id is clearer and more
correct.

2015-03-03  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

	* inf-ptrace.c (inf_ptrace_resume): Remove spurious whitespace.
	Use ptid_get_pid to get the overall process id when resuming all
	threads.
