ptrace/x86: dont delay "disable" till second pass in ptrace_write_dr7()
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
commit 24f1e32c60c4 ("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 commit 44234adcdce3
("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.
