KVM: arm64: selftests: Enable single-step without a "full" ucall()

Add a new ucall hook, GUEST_UCALL_NONE(), to allow tests to make ucalls
without allocating a ucall struct, and use it to enable single-step
in ARM's debug-exceptions test.  Like the disable single-step path, the
enabling path also needs to ensure that no exclusive access sequences are
attempted after enabling single-step, as the exclusive monitor is cleared
on ERET from the debug exception taken to EL2.

The test currently "works" because clear_bit() isn't actually an atomic
operation... yet.
