arm64: Clear out any singlestep state on a ptrace detach operation

Browse Source 
commit 5db4fd8c52810bd9740c1240ebf89223b171aa70 upstream.

Make sure to clear out any ptrace singlestep state when a ptrace(2)
PTRACE_DETACH call is made on arm64 systems.

Otherwise, the previously ptraced task will die off with a SIGTRAP
signal if the debugger just previously singlestepped the ptraced task.
