3.13.11.8 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall at linaro.org>

commit 05e0127f9e362b36aa35f17b1a3d52bca9322a3a upstream.

The architecture specifies that when the processor wakes up from a WFE
or WFI instruction, the instruction is considered complete, however we
currrently return to EL1 (or EL0) at the WFI/WFE instruction itself.

While most guests may not be affected by this because their local
exception handler performs an exception returning setting the event bit
or with an interrupt pending, some guests like UEFI will get wedged due
this little mishap.

Simply skip the instruction when we have completed the emulation.
