hw_breakpoint: Add perf_event_attr fields check in __modify_user_hw_breakpoint()

And rename it to modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check().

We are about to use modify_user_hw_breakpoint_check() for user space
breakpoints modification, we must be very strict to check only the
fields we can change have changed. As Peter explained:

"Suppose someone does:

attr = malloc(sizeof(*attr)); // uninitialized memory
attr->type = BP;
attr->bp_addr = new_addr;
attr->bp_type = bp_type;
attr->bp_len = bp_len;
ioctl(fd, PERF_IOC_MOD_ATTR, &attr);

And feeds absolute shite for the rest of the fields.
Then we later want to extend IOC_MOD_ATTR to allow changing
attr::sample_type but we can't, because that would break the
above application."

I'm making this check optional because we already export
modify_user_hw_breakpoint() and with this check we could
break existing users.
