When we set gdb_num_core_regs be 0, gdb_read/write_register should not
be called, and they assume the callers always pass valid parameters.

 - For alpha, s390 have considered about the invalid parameter.

 - arm, i386 and microblaze do not consider about the invalid parameter.

For dump_state, the caller will check whether it is NULL, before use it.

Thanks.
