[PATCH v5 1/8] powerpc/watchpoint: Fix quarword instruction handling on p10 predecessors

On p10 predecessors, watchpoint with quarword access is compared at
quardword length. If the watch range is doubleword or less than that
in a first half of quarword aligned 16 bytes, and if there is any
unaligned quadword access which will access only the 2nd half, the
handler should consider it as extraneous and emulate/single-step it
before continuing.
