Reiji Watanabe 370531d1e9 KVM: arm64: Clear PSTATE.SS when the Software Step state was Active-pending

While userspace enables single-step, if the Software Step state at the
last guest exit was "Active-pending", clear PSTATE.SS on guest entry
to restore the state.

Currently, KVM sets PSTATE.SS to 1 on every guest entry while userspace
enables single-step for the vCPU (with KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP).
It means KVM always makes the vCPU's Software Step state
"Active-not-pending" on the guest entry, which lets the VCPU perform
single-step (then Software Step exception is taken). This could cause
extra single-step (without returning to userspace) if the Software Step
state at the last guest exit was "Active-pending" (i.e. the last
exit was triggered by an asynchronous exception after the single-step
is performed, but before the Software Step exception is taken.
See "Figure D2-3 Software step state machine" and "D2.12.7 Behavior
in the active-pending state" in ARM DDI 0487I.a for more info about
this behavior).

Fix this by clearing PSTATE.SS on guest entry if the Software Step state
at the last exit was "Active-pending" so that KVM restore the state (and
the exception is taken before further single-step is performed).
