[PATCH v2] powerpc/sstep.c - Fix emulation fall-through

[Oliver O'Halloran]

There is a switch fallthough in instr_analyze() which can cause
an invalid instruction to be emulated as a different, valid,
instruction. The rld* (opcode 30) case extracts a sub-opcode from
bits 3:1 of the instruction word. However, the only valid values
of this field a 001 and 000. These cases are correctly handled,
but the others are not which causes execution to fall through
into case 31.

Breaking out of the switch causes the instruction to be marked as
unknown and allows the caller to deal with the invalid instruction
in a manner consistent with other invalid instructions.
