Send qXfer:traceframe-info:read when traceframe is selected.

Browse Source 
When I do 'si', I find many 'qXfer:traceframe-info:read' packets are sent,
which is not necessary.  It slows down the single step.
(gdb) si

This problem was introduced by this patch
(https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-04/msg00000.html), in
which get_traceframe_number is not checked before calling
traceframe_available_memory.  This patch moves the check to
remote_traceframe_info, say, if GDB doesn't have traceframe selected, GDB
doesn't need to send qXfer:traceframe-info:read packets.

With this patch applied, there is no qXfer:traceframe-info:read sent
out and single step is speed up a little bit.

Here is the experiment I did:

	   Num of single step	Original	Patched

single-step cpu_time 10000	8.08		7.57
single-step cpu_time 20000	16.23		14.23

single-step vmsize 30000	16260		16520
single-step vmsize 40000	16444		16704

The patch is tested on x86_64-linux.
