Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] arm64: hw_breakpoint: Save privilege of access control via ptrace

Currently, decode_ctrl_reg() saves the privilege of access control
which is not used anymore, arch_build_bp_info() checks whether bp
virtual address is in kernel space to construct hw->ctrl.privilege,
the process seems not reasonable.

The value of ctrl->privilege saved in decode_ctrl_reg() can be used
in arch_build_bp_info(), there is no need to check bp virtual address
to assign value for hw->ctrl.privilege, just make use of "bp_priv" in
the struct perf_event_attr to save the privilege of access control via
ptrace for hardware breakpoint.
