[PATCH v2] xmon: Setup xmon debugger hooks when first break-point is set

[Vaibhav Jain <vaibhav@linux.vnet.ibm.com>]

Presently sysrq key for xmon('x') is registered during kernel init
irrespective of the value of kernel param 'xmon'. Thus xmon is enabled
even if 'xmon=off' is passed on the kernel command line. However this
doesn't enable the kernel debugger hooks needed for instruction or data
breakpoints. Thus when a break-point is hit with xmon=off a kernel oops
of the form below is reported:

Oops: Exception in kernel mode, sig: 5 [#1]
< snip >
Trace/breakpoint trap

To fix this the patch checks and enables debugger hooks when an
instruction or data break-point is set via xmon console.

Change-log:

v2 -> Moved the code that was force enabling xmon to a separate inline
      function (Balbir)

      The change related to clearing all breakpoints when xmon is
      disabled via debugfs will be respinned as a separate
      patch. (Mpe)
