Subject: [PATCH] ptrace: restore the previous single step reporting behavior

Commit 64eb35f701f04b30706e21d1b02636b5d31a37d2 changed when single step
is reported.

Specifically, the report_single_step is changed so that single steps are
only reported when both SYSCALL_EMU and _TIF_SINGLESTEP are set, while
previously they are reported when _TIF_SINGLESTEP is set without
_TIF_SYSCALL_EMU being set.

This behavior change breaks rr [1]

This commit restores the old behavior.
