powerpc/book3e-64: Fix debug support for userspace
With the introduction of CONFIG_PPC_ADV_DEBUG_REGS user space debug is broken on Book-E 64-bit parts that support delayed debug events. When switch_booke_debug_regs() sets DBCR0 we'll start getting debug events as MSR_DE is also set and we aren't able to handle debug events from kernel space. We can remove the hack that always enables MSR_DE and loads up DBCR0 and just utilize switch_booke_debug_regs() to get user space debug working again. We still need to handle critical/debug exception stacks & proper save/restore of state for those exception levles to support debug events from kernel space like we have on 32-bit.
