[PATCH 3/3] ARM: kdgb: use <asm/opcodes.h> for data to be assembled as intruction

The arch_kgdb_breakpoint() function uses an inline assembly directive
to assemble a specific instruction using .word. This means the linker
will not treat is as an instruction, and therefore incorrectly swap
the endian-ness if running BE8.
