[PATCH 1/4] scripts/gdb: Find vmlinux where it was before

[Stephen Boyd <swboyd@chromium.org>]

If I run 'gdb <path/to/vmlinux>' and there's the vmlinux-gdb.py file
there I can properly see symbols and use the lx commands provided by the
GDB scripts. But once I run 'lx-symbols' at the command prompt, gdb
reloads the vmlinux symbols assuming that this script was run from the
directory that has vmlinux at the root. That isn't always true, but we
could just look and see what symbols were already loaded and use that
instead. Let's do that so this can work by being invoked anywhere.
