Subject: [PATCH 5.6 055/126] scripts/gdb: repair rb_first() and rb_last()

From: Aymeric Agon-Rambosson <aymeric.agon@...dex.com>

[ Upstream commit 50e36be1fb9572b2e4f2753340bdce3116bf2ce7 ]

The current implementations of the rb_first() and rb_last() gdb
functions have a variable that references itself in its instanciation,
which causes the function to throw an error if a specific condition on
the argument is met.  The original author rather intended to reference
the argument and made a typo.  Referring the argument instead makes the
function work as intended.
