[PATCH v2 3/3] arm64: kgdb: disable interrupts while a software step is enabled

After entering kgdb mode, 'stepi' may unexpectedly breaks the execution
somewhere in el1_irq.
This happens because a debug exception is always enabled in el1_irq
due to the following commit merged in v3.16:
commit 2a2830703a23 ("arm64: debug: avoid accessing mdscr_el1 on fault
paths where possible")
A pending interrupt can be taken after kgdb has enabled a software step,
but before a debug exception is actually taken.
This patch enforces interrupts to be masked while single stepping.
