Subject: [PATCH 5/5] ptrace: Revert "Prepare to fix racy accesses on task
	breakpoints"

This reverts commit bf26c018490c2fce7fe9b629083b96ce0e6ad019.

The patch was fine but we can no longer race with SIGKILL after
9899d11f "ptrace: ensure arch_ptrace/ptrace_request can never race
with SIGKILL", the __TASK_TRACED tracee can't be woken up and
->ptrace_bps[] can't go away.

Now that ptrace_get_breakpoints/ptrace_put_breakpoints have no
callers, we can kill them and remove task->ptrace_bp_refcnt.
