Subject: [PATCH 4/6] ptrace/x86: ptrace_write_dr7() should create bp if
	!disabled

24f1e32c "hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top
of perf events" introduced the minor regression. Before this commit

	PTRACE_POKEUSER DR7, enableDR0
	PTRACE_POKEUSER DR0, address

was perfectly valid, now PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR7) fails if DR0 was not
previously initialized by PTRACE_POKEUSER(DR0).

Change ptrace_write_dr7() to do ptrace_register_breakpoint(addr => 0)
if !bp && !disabled. This fixes watchpoint-zeroaddr from ptrace-tests,
see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=660204.
