[PATCH v2 05/15] gdb: Get correct mod variable value

[Glenn Washburn]

For some reason, GDB is breaking on grub_dl_add() before the function
has setup its stack frame, but GDB thinks it has. So the value of mod
is bogus. To get the correct value, create a one-time break on
grub_dl_get(), which is the first line of grub_dl_add(). When this break
point hits, grub_dl_add() will have finished setting up it stack frame.
But at this point we will be in grub_dl_get()'s stack frame. So go one
frame up, which will be grub_dl_add(), to get mod's value.
