Subject: [PATCH 5/5] perf/hw_breakpoint: Add fallback code for ptrace_set_breakpoint_addr

Restoring the breakpoint after unsuccesfull address change,
so following user code no longer produces disabled breakpoint.

  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), addr_1)
  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[7]), dr7)
  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), -1)

The first 2 ptrace calls set breakpoint on addr_1. The 3rd ptrace
call tries to set it to bogus address (-1). This would normaly
end up with disabled breakpoint. This patch adds the code that
restores the breakpoint to its original state.
