[PATCH] powerpc, hw_breakpoints: Fix CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT off-case in ptrace_set_debugreg

We make use of ptrace_get_breakpoints() / ptrace_put_breakpoints()
to protect ptrace_set_debugreg() even if CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT
if off. However in this case, these APIs are not implemented.

To fix this, push the protection down inside the relevant ifdef.
Best would be to export the code inside CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT
into a standalone function to cleanup the ifdefury there and call
the breakpoint ref API inside. But as it is more invasive, this
should be rather made in an -rc1.

Fixes:

arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.c:1594: error: implicit declaration of function 'ptrace_get_breakpoints'
make[2]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel/ptrace.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/powerpc/kernel] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2
