hw-breakpoints: Rewrite the hw-breakpoints layer on top of perf events

This patch rebase the implementation of the breakpoints API on top of
perf events instances.

Each breakpoints are now perf events that handle the
register scheduling, thread/cpu attachment, etc..

The new layering is now made as follows:

       ptrace       kgdb      ftrace   perf syscall
          \          |          /         /
           \         |         /         /
                                        /
            Core breakpoint API        /
                                      /
                     |               /
                     |              /

              Breakpoints perf events

                     |
                     |

               Breakpoints PMU ---- Debug Register constraints handling
                                    (Part of core breakpoint API)
                     |
                     |

             Hardware debug registers

Reasons of this rewrite:

- Use the centralized/optimized pmu registers scheduling,
  implying an easier arch integration
- More powerful register handling: perf attributes (pinned/flexible
  events, exclusive/non-exclusive, tunable period, etc...)

Impact:

- New perf ABI: the hardware breakpoints counters
- Ptrace breakpoints setting remains tricky and still needs some per
  thread breakpoints references.

Todo (in the order):

- Support breakpoints perf counter events for perf tools (ie: implement
  perf_bpcounter_event())
- Support from perf tools

Changes in v2:

- Follow the perf "event " rename
- The ptrace regression have been fixed (ptrace breakpoint perf events
  weren't released when a task ended)
- Drop the struct hw_breakpoint and store generic fields in
  perf_event_attr.
- Separate core and arch specific headers, drop
  asm-generic/hw_breakpoint.h and create linux/hw_breakpoint.h
- Use new generic len/type for breakpoint
- Handle off case: when breakpoints api is not supported by an arch

Changes in v3:

- Fix broken CONFIG_KVM, we need to propagate the breakpoint api
  changes to kvm when we exit the guest and restore the bp registers
  to the host.

Changes in v4:

- Drop the hw_breakpoint_restore() stub as it is only used by KVM
- EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL hw_breakpoint_restore() as KVM can be built as a
  module
- Restore the breakpoints unconditionally on kvm guest exit:
  TIF_DEBUG_THREAD doesn't anymore cover every cases of running
  breakpoints and vcpu->arch.switch_db_regs might not always be
  set when the guest used debug registers.
  (Waiting for a reliable optimization)

Changes in v5:

- Split-up the asm-generic/hw-breakpoint.h moving to
  linux/hw_breakpoint.h into a separate patch
- Optimize the breakpoints restoring while switching from kvm guest
  to host. We only want to restore the state if we have active
  breakpoints to the host, otherwise we don't care about messed-up
  address registers.
- Add asm/hw_breakpoint.h to Kbuild
- Fix bad breakpoint type in trace_selftest.c

Changes in v6:

- Fix wrong header inclusion in trace.h (triggered a build
  error with CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST
