[PATCH v4 1/6] arm64: hw_breakpoint: Disallow breakpoints in no kprobe code

[Rob Herring (Arm)]

Taking debug exceptions while manipulating the breakpoints is likely to
be unsafe. The setting kprobes in the breakpoint code is already
forbidden, but the setting of h/w breakpoints is not. Copy what x86 does
and exclude breakpoints that fall within the kprobe section.
