The problem seems to be that we take the debug exception before the
breakpointed instruction has been executed and call perf_bp_event at
that moment, so when we single-step the faulting instruction we actually
step into the SIGIO handler and end up getting stuck.

Your fix doesn't really address this afaict, in that you don't (can't?)
handle:

   * A longjmp out of a signal handler
   * A watchpoint and a breakpoint that fire on the same instruction
   * User-controlled single-step from a signal handler that enables a
     breakpoint explicitly
   * Nested signals

Please have a look at [1], which I improve test__bp_signal() to
check bullet 2 and 4 you mentioned above. Seems my fix is correct.
