Subject: [PATCH 1/2] hw_breakpoint: Simplify *register_wide_hw_breakpoint()

1. register_wide_hw_breakpoint() can use unregister_ if failure,
   no need to duplicate the code.

2. "struct perf_event **pevent" adds the unnecesary lever of
   indirection and complication, use per_cpu(*cpu_events, cpu).
