We intend that EL0 exception handlers unmask all DAIF exceptions
before calling exit_to_user_mode().
When completing single-step of a suspended breakpoint, we do not call
local_daif_restore(DAIF_PROCCTX) before calling exit_to_user_mode(),
leaving all DAIF exceptions masked.
When pseudo-NMIs are not in use this is benign.
When pseudo-NMIs are in use, this is unsound. At this point interrupts
are masked by both DAIF.IF and PMR_EL1, and subsequent irq flag
manipulation may not work correctly. For example, a subsequent
local_irq_enable() within exit_to_user_mode_loop() will only unmask
interrupts via PMR_EL1 (leaving those masked via DAIF.IF), and
anything depending on interrupts being unmasked (e.g. delivery of
signals) will not work correctly.
This was detected by CONFIG_ARM64_DEBUG_PRIORITY_MASKING.
Move the call to `try_step_suspended_breakpoints()` outside of the check
so that interrupts can be unmasked even if we don't call the step handler.
