arm64: kprobes: Fix Uexpected kernel BRK exception at EL1

I was hitting the below panic continuously when attaching kprobes to
scheduler functions

After a bit of head scratching and debugging it turned out that it is
due to kprobe handler being interrupted by a tick that causes us to go
into (I think another) kprobe handler.

The culprit was kprobe_breakpoint_ss_handler() returning DBG_HOOK_ERROR
which leads to the Unexpected kernel BRK exception.

Reverting commit ba090f9c ("arm64: kprobes: Remove redundant
kprobe_step_ctx") seemed to fix the problem for me.

Further analysis showed that kcb->kprobe_status is set to
KPROBE_REENTER when the error occurs. By teaching
kprobe_breakpoint_ss_handler() to handle this status I can no  longer
reproduce the problem.
