kgdb, x86, arm, mips, powerpc: ignore user space single stepping

On the x86 arch, user space single step exceptions should be ignored
if they occur in the kernel space, such as ptrace stepping through a
system call.

First check if it is kgdb that is executing a single step, then ensure
it is not an accidental traversal into the user space, while in kgdb,
any other time the TIF_SINGLESTEP is set, kgdb should ignore the
exception.

On x86, arm, mips and powerpc, the kgdb_contthread usage was
inconsistent with the way single stepping is implemented in the kgdb
core.  The arch specific stub should always set the
kgdb_cpu_doing_single_step correctly if it is single stepping.  This
allows kgdb to correctly process an instruction steps if ptrace
happens to be requesting an instruction step over a system call.
