scripts/gdb: fix detection of current CPU in KGDB

Browse Source 
Directly read the current CPU number from the kgdb_active variable.

Before, the active CPU was obtained through the current task, which
required searching the task list for the pid of GDB's selected thread. 
Obtaining the pid was buggy: GDB may use selected_thread().ptid[1] (LWPID)
instead of .ptid[2] (TID) to store the threads pid; see
https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb.html/Threads-In-Python.html
As a result, the detection could return the wrong CPU number, leading to
incorrect results for $lx_per_cpu and $lx_current.

As a side effect, the patch significantly speeds up $lx_per_cpu and
$lx_current in KGDB by avoiding the task-list iteration.
