[PATCH 09/16] ARM: Check condition code before trying to handle an UNDEF

As indicated in the ARMv7 ARM in B1.9.2, an instruction that
would cause an UNDEF can trap even if it fails its condition
code. Yes, this is annoying.

Add a arm_check_condition call before trying to handle an
UNDEF, and move the PC by the right amount if the condition
check fails.
