[ Upstream commit 9478f1927e6ef9ef5e1ad761af1c98aa8e40b7f5 ]
Our arm64_skip_faulting_instruction() helper advances the userspace singlestep state machine, but this is also called by the kernel BRK handler, as used for WARN*().
Thus, if we happen to hit a WARN*() while the user singlestep state machine is in the active-no-pending state, we'll advance to the active-pending state without having executed a user instruction, and will take a step exception earlier than expected when we return to userspace.
Let's fix this by only advancing the state machine when skipping a user instruction.
