gdb: set only inferior_ptid in sparc_{fetch,store}_inferior_registers

The past commit d1e93af ("gdb: set current thread in
sparc_{fetch,collect}_inferior_registers (PR gdb/27147)") changed
sparc_fetch_inferior_registers and sparc_store_inferior_registers to
look up the thread corresponding to the regcache's ptid and make it the
current thread.  The reason being that down the call chain, some
functions (like sparc_supply_rwindow) can do some memory reads or write,
through target_read_memory/target_write_memory, and those rely on the
current global context.

There is one small problem with this approach: when debugging a
multi-threaded program, the regcache for a new thread is created just
before the corresponding thread_info is created.  In fact, the regcache
is created somewhere during the call to thread_from_lwp, which is
responsible for creating the thread_info:

The problem is that while sparc_fetch_inferior_registers runs and is
asked to read the registers of a given ptid, there isn't a thread_info
with that ptid yet.  So, find_thread_ptid returns nullptr, and
switch_to_thread gives an internal error.

Fix this by only setting inferior_ptid, instead of the whole global
context, as switch_to_thread does.  This is sufficient for
target_read_memory / target_write_memory to work down the line.

Ideally, it would be nice to be able to pass the ptid down the whole
call chain and to target_read_memory / target_write_memory, so that this
setting of inferior_ptid would not be necessary.  But this is not going
to happen soon.

This fixes running a multi-threaded program, which would hit the
internal error show in the call stack above.
