When using the MI interpreter, if someone was to attach to a ROCm
process which has active GPU waves, GDB would issue a segfault as
follows:

Segmentation fault
The issue comes from using a non-initialized pointer in mi_on_resume_1:
if (!mi->running_result_record_printed && mi->mi_proceeded)
{
gdb_printf (mi->raw_stdout, "%s^running\n",
mi->current_token ? mi->current_token : "");
}
In this instance, "mi->current_token" has an uninitialized value. This is a
regression introduced by:

gdb/mi: make current_token a field of mi_interp
Before this patch, current_token was a global implicitly 0-initialized. Since
it is now a class field, it is not 0-initialized by default anymore. This
patch changes this.
