[EDT] [PATCH 1/1] Fix: hw watchpoint continually triggers callback

[maninder1.s@samsung.com (Maninder Singh)]

EP-2DAD0AFA905A4ACB804C4F82A001242F

On ARM, when a watchpoint is registered using register_wide_hw_breakpoint, 
the callback handler endlessly runs until the watchpoint is unregistered.
The reason for this issue is debug interrupts gets raised before executing the instruction,
and after interrupt handling ARM tries to execute the same instruction again , which results
in interrupt getting raised again.

This patch fixes this issue by using KPROBES (getting the instruction executed and incrementing PC
to next instruction).
