x86 ptrace: block-step fix

The enable_single_step() logic bails out early if TF is already set.
That skips some of the bookkeeping that keeps things straight.
This makes PTRACE_SINGLEBLOCK break the behavior of a user task
that was already setting TF itself in user mode.

Fix the bookkeeping to notice the old TF setting as it should.
