The software breakpoint handlers are hooked in directly from ptrace,
which makes it difficult to add additional handlers for things like
kprobes and kgdb.
This patch moves the handling code into debug-monitors.c, where we can
dispatch to different debug subsystems more easily.

If a debugger tries to zero a hardware debug control register, the
kernel will try to infer both the type and length of the breakpoint
in order to sanity-check against the requested regset type. This will
fail because the encoding will appear as a zero-length breakpoint.
This patch changes the control register setting so that disabled
breakpoints are treated as HW_BREAKPOINT_EMPTY and no further
sanity-checking is required.

The user_hwdebug_state structure contains implicit padding to conform to
the alignment requirements of the AArch64 ABI (namely that aggregates
must be aligned to their most aligned member).
This patch fixes the ptrace functions operating on struct
user_hwdebug_state so that the padding is handled correctly.

This patch adds #ifdef __KERNEL__ guards around the COMPAT_* definitions
to avoid exporting them to user. AArch32 user requiring the kernel
headers must use those generated with ARCH=arm.

The use of regsets has removed the need for many private ptrace requests,
so remove the corresponding definitions from the user-visible ptrace.h
