Subject: [34/55] sh: Fix ptrace hw_breakpoint handling

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: David Engraf <david.engraf@...go.com>

commit fb7f045ace0624f1e59a7db8497e460bd54b1cbc upstream.

Since commit 34d0b5af50a063cded842716633501b38ff815fb it is no longer
possible to debug an application using singlestep. The old commit
converted singlestep handling via ptrace to hw_breakpoints. The
hw_breakpoint is disabled when an event is triggered and not re-enabled
again. This patch re-enables the existing hw_breakpoint before the
existing breakpoint is reused.
