[PATCH] scripts: gdb: fix missing pbl_barebox_break error message

From: Bruno Knittel <bruno.knittel at bruker.com>

If no pbl_barebox_break symbol is found in the file provided to
bb-load-symbols, the script is failing with a Python exception stating
that BBSymbols has no path attribute.

Fix the error handling to actually print the error message.
