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