perf/hw_breakpoint: Modify breakpoint even if the new attr has disabled set

We need to change the breakpoint even if the attr with new fields has
disabled set to true.

Current code prevents following user code to change the breakpoint
address:

  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), addr_1)
  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[0]), addr_2)
  ptrace(PTRACE_POKEUSER, child, offsetof(struct user, u_debugreg[7]), dr7)

The first PTRACE_POKEUSER creates the breakpoint with attr.disabled set
to true:

  ptrace_set_breakpoint_addr(nr = 0)
    struct perf_event *bp = t->ptrace_bps[nr];

    ptrace_register_breakpoint(..., disabled = true)
      ptrace_fill_bp_fields(..., disabled)
      register_user_hw_breakpoint

So the second PTRACE_POKEUSER will be omitted:

  ptrace_set_breakpoint_addr(nr = 0)
    struct perf_event *bp = t->ptrace_bps[nr];
    struct perf_event_attr attr = bp->attr;

    modify_user_hw_breakpoint(bp, &attr)
      if (!attr->disabled)
        modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check
