arm64: debug: clear mdscr_el1 instead of taking the OS lock
commit 9c413e25d95fd3c0abe23eadad66191b22baa549 upstream. During boot, we take the debug OS lock before interrupts are enabled. This is required to prevent clearing of PSTATE.D on the interrupt entry path, which could result in spurious debug exceptions before we've got round to resetting things like the hardware breakpoints registers to a sane state. A problem with this approach is that taking the OS lock prevents an external JTAG debugger from debugging the system, which is especially irritating during boot, where JTAG debugging can be most useful. This patch clears mdscr_el1 rather than taking the lock, clearing the MDE and KDE bits and preventing self-hosted hardware debug exceptions from occurring.
