Apparently after reading 17.3.1.1, it seems like RF can still be set
if a data breakpoint triggers in a repeated string instruction before
the last iteration. However I don't think we care because as long as
we return to the string instruction, since the data location was already
visited it won't trigger again so the loss of the flag should be safe.
