gdb always need to generate a single step properly to invoke
a kgdb state. But with lazy interrupt, book3e can't always
trigger a debug exception with a single step since the current
is blocked for handling those pending exception, then we miss
that expected dbcr configuration at last to generate a debug
exception.

So here we also update thread's dbcr0 to make sure the current
can go back with that missed dbcr0 configuration.
