Subject[PATCH] x86/uprobes: don't disable single stepping if it was already on
This change checks if single stepping was already activated and if so,
it will leave it enabled. This allows the debugger to single step over
an uprobe. The state of block stepping is not restored. It makes only
sense together with opcode & flags inspection (is this a jump that
will be taken).
