[PATCH 2/2] arm64: disable irq between breakpoint and step exception

If an interrupt is generated between breakpoint and step handler then
step handler can not get correct step address. This situation can easily
be invoked by samples/hw_breakpoint/data_breakpoint.c. It can also be
reproduced if we insert any printk() statement or dump_stack() in perf
overflow_handler. So, it seems that perf is working fine just luckily.
If the CPU which is handling perf breakpoint handler receives any
interrupt then, perf step handler will not execute sanely.

This patch improves do_debug_exception() handling, which enforces now,
that exception handler function:
- should return 0 for any software breakpoint and hw
breakpoint/watchpoint handler if it does not expect a single step stage
- should return 1 if it expects single step.
- A single step handler should always return 0.
- All handler should return a -ve error in any other case.

Now, we can know in do_debug_exception() that whether a step exception
will be followed or not. If there will a step exception then disable
irq. Re-enable it after single step handling.
