[PATCH v3 2/3] kvm: arm64: handle single-stepping trapped instructions

If we are using guest debug to single-step the guest we need to ensure
we exit after emulating the instruction. This only affects
instructions completely emulated by the kernel. For userspace emulated
instructions we need to exit and return to complete the emulation.

The kvm_arm_handle_step_debug() helper sets up the necessary exit
state if needed.

v2
  - use helper from patch 1
  - if (handled > 0) instead of if (handled) so errors propagate
