Subject: [PATCH 5/5] perf/hw_breakpoint: Simplify breakpoint enable in perf_event_modify_breakpoint

We can safely enable the breakpoint back for both the fail
and success paths by checking only the bp->attr.disabled,
which either holds the new 'requested' disabled state or
the original breakpoint state.
