From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhira...@kernel.org>
Add modify_wide_hw_breakpoint_local() arch-wide interface which allows
hwbp users to update watch address on-line. This is available if the
arch supports CONFIG_HAVE_REINSTALL_HW_BREAKPOINT.
Note that this allows to change the type only for compatible types,
because it does not release and reserve the hwbp slot based on type.
For instance, you can not change HW_BREAKPOINT_W to HW_BREAKPOINT_X.

Changes in v2:
- Check type compatibility by checking slot. (Thanks Jinchao!)
