On GNU/Linux, if an infcall spawns a thread, that thread ends up with
stuck running state. This happens because:
- when linux-nat.c detects a new thread, it marks them as running,
and does not report anything to the core.
- we skip finish_thread_state when the thread that is running the
infcall stops.
As result, that new thread ends up with stuck "running" state, even
though it really is stopped.
On Windows, _all_ threads end up stuck in running state, not just the
one that was spawned. That happens because when a new thread is
detected, unlike linux-nat.c, windows-nat.c reports
TARGET_WAITKIND_SPURIOUS to infrun. It's the fact that that event
does not cause a user-visible stop that triggers the problem. When
the target is re-resumed, we call set_running with a wildcard ptid,
which marks all thread as running. That set_running is not suppressed
because the (leader) thread being resumed does not have in_infcall
set. Later, when the infcall finally finishes successfully, nothing
marks all threads back to stopped.
We can trigger the same problem on all targets by having a thread
other than the one that is running the infcall report a breakpoint hit
to infrun, and then have that breakpoint not cause a stop. That's
what the included test does.
The fix is to stop GDB from suppressing the set_running calls while
doing an infcall, and then set the threads back to stopped when the
call finishes, iff they were originally stopped before the infcall
started. (Note the MI *running/*stopped event suppression isn't
affected.)
Tested on x86_64 GNU/Linux.

* infcall.c (run_inferior_call): On infcall success, if the thread
was marked stopped before, reset it back to stopped.
* infrun.c (resume): Don't suppress the set_running calls when
doing an infcall.
(normal_stop): Only discard the finish_thread_state cleanup if the
infcall succeeded.
