[PATCH 1/2] utrace: finish_resume_report: don't do user_xxx_step() if ptrace_wants_step()

finish_resume_report() should not enable/disable the stepping if
ptrace_wants_step() == T. If ptrace wants block_step while utrace
wants single_step we could "promote" the stepping, but I do not
think this really makes sense.

Unless the tracee is killed this can't race with ptrace, this is
called by the tracee itself. If it is killed we do not care.
