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 Linux guests may not be affected by this because their local
exception handler performs an exception returning setting the event bit
and has a separate context for the idle thread calling WFI, some guests like
UEFI will get wedged due this little mishap.

Simply skip the instruction when we have completed the emulation.
