  FreeBSD's ptrace fails requests with EBUSY against a running process.
Report that the thread is alive instead of dead if ptrace fails with
EBUSY.

This fixes an internal error in the gdb.threads/detach-step-over.exp
test where one process was detached while a thread in a second process
was being stepped.  The core incorrectly assumed the stepping thread
had vanished and discarded the pending stepping state.  When the
thread later reported a SIGTRAP from completing the step, this
triggered an assertion.
