I add some code to delete all reinsert breakpoints for all threads in
all-stop. See the patch below,

In your review to V2, your words are about other threads hit a breakpoint, but
doesn't mention "thread 1" (requested for resume_step) hits reinsert
breakpoint or not. I just list two possible results (not hit vs
hit). You didn't talk about the latter, so we don't have to follow it.

Ping? I want this series go in before the release.

This version looks good to me.
