x86/debug: Fix DR_STEP vs ptrace_get_debugreg(6)
Commit d53d9bc ("x86/debug: Change thread.debugreg6 to
thread.virtual_dr6") changed the semantics of the variable from random
collection of bits, to exactly only those bits that ptrace() needs.
Unfortunately this lost DR_STEP for PTRACE_{BLOCK,SINGLE}STEP.
Furthermore, it turns out that userspace expects DR_STEP to be
unconditionally available, even for manual TF usage outside of
PTRACE_{BLOCK,SINGLE}_STEP.
Fixes: d53d9bc ("x86/debug: Change thread.debugreg6 to thread.virtual_dr6")
