Subject[Patch 1/2] Improvements and minor fixes to HW Breakpoint interface
This patch brings a couple of changes to the HW Breakpoint infrastructure:

- Set/clear TIF_DEBUG task flag in <un>register_user_hw_breakpoint()
instead of being done by users of this interface (such as ptrace).

- Modify return code of hw_breakpoint_handler() to NOTIFY_STOP if
triggered due to lazy debug register switching.
