KVM: arm64: Preserve PSTATE.SS for the guest while single-step is enabled

Preserve the PSTATE.SS value for the guest while userspace enables
single-step (i.e. while KVM manipulates the PSTATE.SS) for the vCPU.

Currently, while userspace enables single-step for the vCPU
(with KVM_GUESTDBG_SINGLESTEP), KVM sets PSTATE.SS to 1 on every
guest entry, not saving its original value.
When userspace disables single-step, KVM doesn't restore the original
value for the subsequent guest entry (use the current value instead).
Exception return instructions copy PSTATE.SS from SPSR_ELx.SS
only in certain cases when single-step is enabled (and set it to 0
in other cases). So, the value matters only when the guest enables
single-step (and when the guest's Software step state isn't affected
by single-step enabled by userspace, practically), though.

Fix this by preserving the original PSTATE.SS value while userspace
enables single-step, and restoring the value once it is disabled.

This fix modifies the behavior of GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG for the
PSTATE.SS while single-step is enabled by userspace.
Presently, GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG gets/sets the current PSTATE.SS
value, which KVM will override on the next guest entry (i.e. the
value userspace gets/sets is not used for the next guest entry).
With this patch, GET_ONE_REG/SET_ONE_REG will get/set the guest's
preserved value, which KVM will preserve and try to restore after
single-step is disabled.
