Running anything with the fission.exp board fails since commit
c0ab21c22b ("Replace init_cutu_and_read_dies with a class").
GDB crashes while reading the DWARF info. cu is NULL in
read_signatured_type:

After creating the reader object, the reader.cu field should not be
NULL. By checking the commit previous to the faulty one mentioned
above, I noticed that the cu field is normally set by
init_cu_die_reader, called from read_cutu_die_from_dwo, itself called
from cutu_reader::init_tu_and_read_dwo_dies, itself called from
cutu_reader's constructor.
However, cutu_reader::init_tu_and_read_dwo_dies calls
read_cutu_die_from_dwo, passing a pointer to a local `die_reader_specs`
variable. So it's the `cu` field of that object that gets set.
cutu_reader itself is a `die_reader_specs` (it inherits from it), and
the intention was most likely to pass `this` to read_cutu_die_from_dwo.
This way, the fields of the cutu_reader object, which
read_signatured_type will use, are set.
With this, I am able to use:
make check RUNTESTFLAGS='--target_board=fission'
and it looks much better. There are still some failures to be
investigated, but that's the usual state of the testsuite.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* dwarf2/read.c (cutu_reader::init_tu_and_read_dwo_dies): Remove
reader variable, pass `this` to read_cutu_die_from_dwo.
