x86: prevent unconditional writes to DebugCtl MSR
Otherwise, enabling (or better, subsequent disabling) of single
stepping would cause a kernel oops on CPUs not having this MSR.
The patch could have been added a conditional to the MSR write in
user_disable_single_step(), but centralizing the updates seems safer
and (looking forward) better manageable.
