2.6.38-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec at gmail.com>

commit 925f83c085e1bb08435556c5b4844a60de002e31 upstream.

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 this build error:

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