[PATCH 5/7] KVM: arm64: guest debug, add support for single-step

This adds support for single-stepping the guest. As userspace can and
will manipulate guest registers before restarting any tweaking of the
registers has to occur just before control is passed back to the guest.
Furthermore while guest debugging is in effect we need to squash the
ability of the guest to single-step itself as we have no easy way of
re-entering the guest after the exception has been delivered to the
hypervisor.
