  In record_full_exec_insn use cooked_read_value instead of creating
a temp buffer.

Code to remove MAX_REGISTER_SIZE from uses of record_full_core_regbuf
will be in a different patch (I'm debugging some issues with it).

Tested on a --enable-targets=all build with board files unix and
native-gdbserver.


Ok to commit?

Alan.

	* gdb/record-full.c (record_full_exec_insn): Use
	regcache->cooked_read_value.

The original code is about swapping contents of register REG in regcache
and record_full_get_loc (entry), and the length is known entry->u.reg.len.

It is a overkill to use value to swap these two buffers, IMO.  How about
xmalloc "reg" instead?
