[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/watchpoint: Workaround P10 DD1 issue with VSX-32 byte instructions

POWER10 DD1 has an issue where it generates watchpoint exceptions when it
shouldn't. The conditions where this occur are:
- octword op
- ending address of DAWR range is less than starting address of op
- those addresses need to be in the same or in two consecutive 512B
blocks
- 'op address + 64B' generates an address that has a carry into bit
52 (crosses 2K boundary)
Handle such spurious exception by considering them as extraneous and
emulating/single-steeping instruction without generating an event.
