Subject: [PATCH v3 3/3] kvm: arm64: handle single-step of userspace mmio instructions

The system state of KVM when using userspace emulation is not complete
until we return into KVM_RUN. To handle mmio related updates we wait
until they have been committed and then schedule our KVM_EXIT_DEBUG.

The kvm_arm_handle_step_debug() helper tells us if we need to return
and sets up the exit_reason for us.

Signed-off-by: Alex Bennée <alex.bennee@...aro.org>

---
v2
  - call helper directly from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run
v3
  - return 0 (ioctl success) instead of 1
