Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] arm64: Fix pending single-step debugging issues

This patch-set reworks pending fixes from Wei's series [1] to make
single-step debugging via kgdb/kdb on arm64 work as expected. There was
a prior discussion on ML [2] regarding if we should keep the interrupts
enabled during single-stepping. So patch #1 follows suggestion from Will
[3] to not disable interrupts during single stepping but rather skip
single stepping within interrupt handler.

Changes in v4:
- Rebased to the tip of mainline.
- Picked up Doug's Tested-by tag.

Changes in v3:
- Reword commit descriptions as per Daniel's suggestions.

Changes in v2:
- Replace patch #1 to rather follow Will's suggestion.
