Initialize target description early in IPA

Target descriptions are allocated lazily, that is fine in GDBserver,
but it is not safe to call malloc in gdb_collect in IPA, because we
can set a fast tracepoint in malloc, and when the tracepoint is hit,
gdb_collect/malloc is called, deadlock or memory corruption may be
triggered.

 #0  0xf7cfc200 in malloc ()
 #1  0xf7efdc07 in operator new(unsigned int) ()
 #2  0xf7ef7636 in allocate_target_description() ()
 #3  0xf7efcbe1 in i386_create_target_description(unsigned long long, bool) ()
 #4  0xf7efb474 in i386_linux_read_description(unsigned long long) ()
 #5  0xf7efb190 in get_ipa_tdesc(int) ()
 #6  0xf7ef9baa in gdb_collect ()

The fix is to initialize all target descriptions earlier, when the
IPA is loaded.  In order to guarantee malloc is not called in IPA
in gdb_collect, I change the test to set a breakpoint on malloc, if
IPA gdb_collect calls malloc, program will hit the breakpoint, and
test fail.
