[PATCH V2] arm64/hw_breakpoint: Directly use ESR_ELx_WNR for an watchpoint exception

Let's use existing ISS encoding for an watchpoint exception i.e ESR_ELx_WNR
This represents an instruction's either writing to or reading from a memory
location during an watchpoint exception. While here this drops non-standard
macro AARCH64_ESR_ACCESS_MASK.

This applies on v6.8-rc5

Changes in V2:

- Dropped new ISS encoding details ESR_ELx_WnR and ESR_ELx_WnR_SHIFT
- Directly used existing ESR_ELx_WNR per Catalin
- Updated the commit message as required
