[PATCH 07/13] ptrace/x86: dont delay "disable" till second pass in ptrace_write_dr7()

[Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>]

ptrace_write_dr7() skips ptrace_modify_breakpoint(disabled => true)
unless second_pass, this buys nothing but complicates the code and
means that we always do the main loop twice even if "disabled" was
never true.

The comment says:

	Don't unregister the breakpoints right-away,
	unless all register_user_hw_breakpoint()
	requests have succeeded.

Firstly, we do not do register_user_hw_breakpoint(), it was removed
by 24f1e32c "hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top
of perf events".

We are going to restore register_user_hw_breakpoint() (see the next
patch) but this doesn't matter, after 44234adc "hw-breakpoints: Modify
breakpoints without unregistering them" perf_event_disable() can not
hurt, hw_breakpoint_del() does not free the slot.

Remove the "second_pass" check from the main loop and simplify the
code. Since we have to check "bp != NULL" anyway, the patch also
removes the same check in ptrace_modify_breakpoint() and moves the
comment into ptrace_write_dr7().

With this patch the second pass is only needed to restore the saved
old_dr7. This should never fail, so the patch adds WARN_ON() to catch
the potential problems as Frederic suggested.
