Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/hw_breakpoint: move instruction stepping out of hw_breakpoint_handler()

On 8xx, breakpoints stop after executing the instruction, so
stepping/emulation is not needed. Move it into a sub-function and
remove the #ifdefs.

May be split this line. It's 86 chars long and checkpatch.pl is warning
about this:

WARNING: line over 80 characters
#257: FILE: arch/powerpc/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c:282:
+ if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PPC_8xx) && !stepping_handler(regs, bp, info->address))

Didn't you use arch/powerpc/tools/checkpatch.sh ?

powerpc accepts 90 chars per line.
