arm64: debug: avoid resetting stepping state machine when TIF_SINGLESTEP
commit 3a402a709500c5a3faca2111668c33d96555e35a upstream. When TIF_SINGLESTEP is set for a task, the single-step state machine is enabled and we must take care not to reset it to the active-not-pending state if it is already in the active-pending state. Unfortunately, that's exactly what user_enable_single_step does, by unconditionally setting the SS bit in the SPSR for the current task. This causes failures in the GDB testsuite, where GDB ends up missing expected step traps if the instruction being stepped generates another trap, e.g. PTRACE_EVENT_FORK from an SVC instruction. This patch fixes the problem by preserving the current state of the stepping state machine when TIF_SINGLESTEP is set on the current thread.
