powerpc, hw_breakpoint: Cooperate better with other single-steppers

The code we had to clear the MSR_SE bit was not doing anything because
the caller (ultimately single_step_exception() in traps.c) had already
cleared.  Instead of trying to leave MSR_SE set if the TIF_SINGLESTEP
flag is set (which indicates that the process is being single-stepped
by ptrace), we instead return NOTIFY_DONE in that case, which means
the caller will generate a SIGTRAP for the process.
