Subject: [PATCH v1 1/2] kvm: arm64: handle single-step during SError exceptions

When an SError arrives during single-step it may be delivered before
the step completes. In that case the DBG_SPSR_SS bit will have flipped
as the instruction executed. After handling the abort in handle_exit()
we test to see if the bit is clear and we were single-stepping before
deciding if we need to exit to user space.
