powerpc/booke64: Fix kernel hangs at kernel_dbg_exc

MSR_DE is not cleared on entry to the kernel, and we don't clear it
explicitly outside of debug code.  If we have MSR_DE set in
prime_debug_regs(), and the new thread has events enabled in DBCR0
(e.g.  ICMP is set in thread->dbsr0, even though it was cleared in the
real DBCR0 when the thread got scheduled out), we'll end up taking a
debug exception in the kernel when DBCR0 is loaded.  DSRR0 will not
point to an exception vector, and the kernel ends up hanging at
kernel_dbg_exc.  Fix this by always clearing MSR_DE when we load new
debug state.

Another observed source of kernel_dbg_exc hangs is with the branch
taken event.  If this event is active, but we take a non-debug trap
(e.g. a TLB miss or an asynchronous interrupt) before the next branch.
We end up taking a branch-taken debug exception on the initial branch
instruction of the exception vector, but because the debug exception is
DBSR_BT rather than DBSR_IC we branch to kernel_dbg_exc before even
checking the DSRR0 address.  Fix this by checking for DBSR_BT as well
as DBSR_IC, which is what 32-bit does and what the comments suggest was
intended in the 64-bit code as well.
