NACK. This patch is assuming that vmlinux-gdb.py is (only) started from
the scripts/gdb folder. But CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS places a link to
vmlinux-gdb.py aside the vmlinux binary in the top-level folder. That
way, the script is auto-loaded by gdb.

If you have a compelling use case for loading the script manually from
its original folder, we can discuss augmenting the path. But removing
the existing one is wrong.

Andrew, please drop the patch from your queue.
