Subject: [PATCH 4/6] hw_breakpoints: Breakpoints arch ability don't need perf events

The breakpoint support ability in an arch is not related
to the fact perf events is built or not. HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT
only shows an ability so this dependency makes no sense
anymore. Archs that select HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT already
ensure that perf event is built.

Remove that dependency.
