Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/debug: Fix DR6 handling


Tom reported that one of the GDB test-cases failed, and Boris bisected
it to commit:

  d53d9bc0cf78 ("x86/debug: Change thread.debugreg6 to thread.virtual_dr6")

The debugging session led us to commit:

  6c0aca288e72 ("x86: Ignore trap bits on single step exceptions")

It turns out that TF and data breakpoints are both traps and will be
merged, while instruction breakpoints are faults and will not be
merged. This means 6c0aca288e72 is wrong, we only need to exclude TF
and instruction breakpoints while we can merge TF and data
breakpoints.

Fixes: d53d9bc0cf78 ("x86/debug: Change thread.debugreg6 to thread.virtual_dr6")
Fixes: 6c0aca288e72 ("x86: Ignore trap bits on single step exceptions")
