[PATCH 5/8] hw_breakpoint: Add perf_event_attr fields check in __modify_user_hw_breakpoint

[Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>]

And rename it to modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check.

We are about to use modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check for user space
breakpoints modification, we must be very strict to check only the
fields we can change have changed. As Peter explained:

  Suppose someone does:
        attr = malloc(sizeof(*attr)); // uninitialized memory
        attr->type = BP;
        attr->bp_addr = new_addr;
        attr->bp_type = bp_type;
        attr->bp_len = bp_len;
        ioctl(fd, PERF_IOC_MOD_ATTR, &attr);

  And feeds absolute shite for the rest of the fields.
  Then we later want to extend IOC_MOD_ATTR to allow changing
  attr::sample_type but we can't, because that would break the
  above application.

I'm making this check optional because we already export
modify_user_hw_breakpoint and with this check we could
break existing users.
