I think this is missing the case where the guest is being debugged by
userspace _and_ from inside (the guest) at the same time. In this
situation, the vmm gets a KVM_EXIT_DEBUG and if it doesn't know what to
do with it, it injects the exception into the guest (1). With this "else
if", the guest would still get the debug exception when the os lock is
enabled.

(1) kvm_arm_handle_debug() is the one doing this in QEMU source code.
