Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/uprobes: implement x86 specific arch_uprobe_*_step

The arch specific implementation enables single stepping directly by
setting the trap flag. "Single-Step on branches" is always disabled
since only one opcode has to be executed.

The disable call removes the trap flag unless it was there before. It
does not touch the flags register if the executed instruction was
"popf". It does not take into account various prefixes like "lock popf"
or "repz popf".
SIGTRAP is sent to the process in case it was traced so the debugger
knows once we advanced by one opcode. This isn't done in case we have to
restore the BTF flag. In case the BTF flag is set, we should look at the
opcode and send SIGTRAP depending on the jump/flag status. For now we
wait for the next exception/jump to be taken.
