[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.14 3/3] hw_breakpoint: fix single-stepping when using bpf_overflow_handler

[ Upstream commit d11a69873d9a7435fe6a48531e165ab80a8b1221 ]

Arm platforms use is_default_overflow_handler() to determine if the
hw_breakpoint code should single-step over the breakpoint trigger or
let the custom handler deal with it.

Since bpf_overflow_handler() currently isn't recognized as a default
handler, attaching a BPF program to a PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT event causes
it to keep firing (the instruction triggering the data abort exception
is never skipped). For example:

  # bpftrace -e 'watchpoint:0x10000:4:w { print("hit") }' -c ./test
  Attaching 1 probe...
  hit
  hit
  [...]
  ^C

(./test performs a single 4-byte store to 0x10000)

This patch replaces the check with uses_default_overflow_handler(),
which accounts for the bpf_overflow_handler() case by also testing
if one of the perf_event_output functions gets invoked indirectly,
via orig_default_handler.
