[v4][PATCH 7/7] book3e/kgdb: Fix a single stgep case of lazy IRQ

When we're in kgdb_singlestep(), we have to work around to get
thread_info by copying from the kernel stack before calling
kgdb_handle_exception(), then copying it back afterwards.

But for PPC64, we have a lazy interrupt implementation. So after
copying thread info frome kernle stack, if we need to replay an
interrupt, we shouldn't restore that previous backup thread info
to make sure we can replay an interrupt lately with a proper
thread info.

This patch use __check_irq_replay() to guarantee this process.
