Fix follow-exec regression / crash

After commit 00431a78b28f ("Use thread_info and inferior pointers more
throughout"), following an exec can result in gdb crashing.  On some
systems, this is visible with gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp and
gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp.  E.g.:

  $ make check TESTS="gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp gdb.base/foll-exec-mode.exp"
  [snip]
  FAIL: gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec.exp: first_arch=1: selected_thread=1: follow_exec_mode=new: continue across exec that changes architecture (GDB internal error)
  ERROR: : spawn id exp10 not open
      while executing

Running multi-arch-exec under Valgrind we easily spot the problem:

  process 16305 is executing new program: ..../gdb.multi/multi-arch-exec/1-multi-arch-exec-hello
  [New inferior 2 (process 0)]

The problem is that handle_inferior_event_1 is reading the stop_pc off
of a thread that was deleted by follow_exec.  Before commit
00431a78b28f, we didn't crash because we were passing down a ptid to
get_thread_regcache instead of ecs->event_thread.

Fix this by simply moving the stop_pc reading until after
ecs->event_thread is refreshed.
