This doesn't look right. Don't you need to also clear the values if
they were set by us for single-stepping the guest? At least for the
MDSCR_EL1.SS bit.
What if we're single-stepping through guest code that modifies the SS bits
of these register for the guest state? Is that possible and do we capture
this somehow?

you could have just checked the field like this in the original patch,
but ok.

why must we clear PSTATE.SS when we have MDSCR_EL1.SS == 0 ?

still don't think you need this.
