[PATCH] x86/hvm: Fix fast singlestep state persistence



From: Petr Beneš <w1benny@xxxxxxxxx>

This patch addresses an issue where the fast singlestep setting would persist
despite xc_domain_debug_control being called with 
XEN_DOMCTL_DEBUG_OP_SINGLE_STEP_OFF.
Specifically, if fast singlestep was enabled in a VMI session and that session
stopped before the MTF trap occurred, the fast singlestep setting remained
active even though MTF itself was disabled.  This led to a situation where, upon
starting a new VMI session, the first event to trigger an EPT violation would
cause the corresponding EPT event callback to be skipped due to the lingering
fast singlestep setting.

The fix ensures that the fast singlestep setting is properly reset when
disabling single step debugging operations.
