hw-breakpoints, perf: Fix broken mmiotrace due to dr6 by reference change

Commit 62edab9056a6cf0c9207339c8892c923a5217e45 (from June 2009
but merged in 2.6.33) changes notify_die to pass dr6 by
reference.

However, it forgets to fix the check for DR_STEP in kmmio.c,
breaking mmiotrace. It also passes a wrong value to the post
handler.

This simple fix makes mmiotrace work again.
