The testcase sets a watchpoint (with perf_event_open) on a buffer that is
passed to timer_create() as the struct sigevent argument. In timer_create(),
copy_from_user()'s rep movsb triggers the BP. The testcase also sets
the debug registers for the guest.

However, KVM only restores host debug registers when the host has active
watchpoints, which triggers a race condition when running the testcase with
multiple threads. The guest's DR6.BS bit can escape to the host before
another thread invokes timer_create(), and do_debug() complains.

The fix is to respect do_debug()'s dr6 invariant when leaving KVM.
