scripts/gdb: document lx_current is only supported by x86

Patch series "scripts/gdb: clarify the platforms supporting lx_current and add arm64 support", v2.

lx_current depends on per_cpu current_task variable which exists on x86
only.  so it actually works on x86 only.  the 1st patch documents this
clearly; the 2nd patch adds support for arm64.

This patch (of 2):

x86 is the only architecture which has per_cpu current_task:

  arch$ git grep current_task | grep -i per_cpu
  x86/include/asm/current.h:DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task);
  x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) ____cacheline_aligned =
  x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
  x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct task_struct *, current_task) = &init_task;
  x86/kernel/cpu/common.c:EXPORT_PER_CPU_SYMBOL(current_task);
  x86/kernel/smpboot.c:	per_cpu(current_task, cpu) = idle;

On other architectures, lx_current() will lead to a python exception:

  (gdb) p $lx_current().pid
  Python Exception <class 'gdb.error'> No symbol "current_task" in current context.:
  Error occurred in Python: No symbol "current_task" in current context.

To avoid more people struggling and wasting time in other architectures,
document it.
