Subject[09/71] x86, hw_breakpoints: Fix racy access to ptrace breakpoints
2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com>

commit 87dc669ba25777b67796d7262c569429e58b1ed4 upstream.

While the tracer accesses ptrace breakpoints, the child task may
concurrently exit due to a SIGKILL and thus release its breakpoints
at the same time. We can then dereference some freed pointers.

To fix this, hold a reference on the child breakpoints before
manipulating them.
