Instead of disabling only first watchpoint, disable all available

Can you explain a bit more what you do exactly ? Why do you change the name of 
the function and why the parameter becomes NULL ? And why it doens't take into 
account the parameter anymore ?

Before:
  static void set_dawr_cb(void *info)
  {
          set_dawr(info);
  }
  
  static ssize_t dawr_write_file_bool(...)
  {
        ...
          /* If we are clearing, make sure all CPUs have the DAWR cleared */
          if (!dawr_force_enable)
                  smp_call_function(set_dawr_cb, &null_brk, 0);
  }

After:
  static void disable_dawrs(void *info)
  {
          struct arch_hw_breakpoint null_brk = {0};
          int i;
  
          for (i = 0; i < nr_wp_slots(); i++)
                  set_dawr(&null_brk, i);
  }
  
  static ssize_t dawr_write_file_bool(...)
  {
        ...
          /* If we are clearing, make sure all CPUs have the DAWR cleared */
          if (!dawr_force_enable)
                  smp_call_function(disable_dawrs, NULL, 0);
  }

We use callback function only for disabling watchpoint. Thus I renamed
it to disable_dawrs(). And we are passing null_brk as parameter which
is not really required while disabling watchpoint. So removed it.

Thanks,
Ravi
