[PATCH v2] scripts/gdb: fix 'lx-timerlist' on newer kernel

From: Lin Ma
Date: Mon Jan 02 2023 - 04:11:58 EST


After commit 511885d7061e ("lib/timerqueue: Rely on rbtree semantics for
next timer"), the struct timerqueue_head changes the internal field hence
causes the old lx-timerlist command keeps reporting errors.

This fix adds a simple version comparison and necessary code for
traversing timerqueue on a newer kernel. Moreover, it fixes some
python 3.X compatibility bugs.

Test with python 2.7 and python 3.6
Test with gdb 10.2
