scripts/gdb: make get_thread_info accept pointers

get_thread_info ($lx_thread_info) only accepted a dereferenced task
parameter. Passing a pointer to a task_struct (like $lx_per_cpu does with
KGDB) threw an exception.

With this patch, both (dereferenced values and pointers) are accepted.

Before (on x86, KGDB):
>>> p $lx_per_cpu(cpu_info)
Traceback (most recent call last):
