[PATCH RESEND] kdump: update Documentation gdbmacros.txt

The  previous patch sent about two weeks ago has a problem:
I define an internal marco named __show_state, but it is called
with an another name "show_state". This problem efforted
only the new macros "psusr" and "pskern" introduced by me.

The problem has been fixed in this patch, and this  patch
has been tested.

BTW, I haven't got reply from original  authors of the doc,
what should I do next?

This patch is for linus-git, and it do the following:

1.updates macros in the file to fix the following errors:
(gdb) btt
There is no member named pid_list.
(gdb) bttnobp
There is no member named pid_list.

2.fix bugs in two places when iterateing thread members in a thread group

original macro:
16 define bttnobp
....
21         while ($next_t != $init_t)
...
34                 set $next_th=(((char
*)$next_t->pids[1].pid_list.next) - $pid_off)
35                 while ($next_th != $next_t)
36                         set $next_th=(struct task_struct *)$next_th
37                         printf "\npid %d; comm %s:\n", $next_t.pid,
$next_t.comm
now, we should print info about the thread member, but it  print
info of threadgroup leader repeatly.
...
3.introduce two auxiliary macros: psusr and pskern to list info of all tasks
viewed in userspace and kernelspace respectively.

The following is the testing result, bu it is test in X86 and kgdb remote
debugging environment:
a.out is a muti-thread program, and one of its threads exec the "top".
