testsuite, mi: avoid a clang bug in 'user-selected-context-sync.exp'
This test causes several timeouts for Clang, taking too long time to
finish. The reason is, for an infinite loop of the form
while(1); /* suppose this is line 30. */
Clang generates code that looks like
0x00000000004004d4 <+4>: jmp 0x4004d9 <loop+9>
0x00000000004004d9 <+9>: jmp 0x4004d9 <loop+9>
So, the real loop is the instruction at address 0x4004d9. But a
breakpoint that's defined at the loop line (assume line 30 in this
case) is inserted at address 0x4004d4.
(gdb) break 30
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4004d4: file test.c, line 30.
Therefore, continuing a thread that was spinning on the loop does not hit
the breakpoint. The bug is reported at
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49614
Tweak the infinite loop to spin on a variable to avoid this bug. The
test is unrelated to the bug.
