Subject: [PATCH] ARM/ARM64: don't enter kgdb when userspace executes a kgdb
 break instruction.

The kgdb breakpoint hooks (kgdb_brk_fn and kgdb_compiled_brk_fn) should only be
entered when a kgdb break instruction is executed from the kernel. Otherwise,
if kgdb is enabled, a userspace program can cause the kernel to drop into the
debugger by executing either KGDB_BREAKINST or KGDB_COMPILED_BREAK on ARM, or
brk #KGDB_{DYN,COMPILED}_DGB_BRK_IMM on ARM64.

The following program reproduces the fixed problem on ARM:
.globl _start
_start:
	udf	#65006	@ KGDB_BREAKINST

And on ARM64:
.globl _start
_start:
        brk     #0x400	@ KGDB_DYN_DGB_BRK_IMM
