Subject: [PATCH v3 08/14] perf/hw_breakpoint: Remove useless code related to
flexible breakpoints
Flexible breakpoints have never been implemented, with
bp_cpuinfo::flexible always being 0. Unfortunately, they still occupy 4
bytes in each bp_cpuinfo and bp_busy_slots, as well as computing the max
flexible count in fetch_bp_busy_slots().
This again causes suboptimal code generation, when we always know that
`!!slots.flexible` will be 0.
Just get rid of the flexible "placeholder" and remove all real code
related to it. Make a note in the comment related to the constraints
algorithm but don't remove them from the algorithm, so that if in future
flexible breakpoints need supporting, it should be trivial to revive
them (along with reverting this change).

v2:
* Also remove struct bp_busy_slots, and simplify functions.
