scripts/gdb: raise error with reduced debugging information

[ Upstream commit 8af055ae ]

If CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_REDUCED is enabled in the kernel configuration, we
will typically not be able to load vmlinux-gdb.py and will fail with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/fainelli/work/buildroot/output/arm64/build/linux-custom/vmlinux-gdb.py", line 25, in <module>
    import linux.utils
  File "/home/fainelli/work/buildroot/output/arm64/build/linux-custom/scripts/gdb/linux/utils.py", line 131, in <module>
    atomic_long_counter_offset = atomic_long_type.get_type()['counter'].bitpos
KeyError: 'counter'

Rather be left wondering what is happening only to find out that reduced
debug information is the cause, raise an eror.  This was not typically a
problem until e3c8d33e ("scripts/gdb: fix 'lx-dmesg' on 32 bits arch")
but it has since then.
