When entering kernel via int80, TIF_SINGLESTEP is not set
when TF has been set in eflags by the user. This patch
does that.
To make things symmetrical, something further should be done.
Either (a) add to this patch so it clears TF after setting
TIF_SINGLESTEP, or (b) change the sysenter path so it sets
TF in regs.eflags when it finds TIF_SINGLESTEP was set by
do_debug() during kernel entry.
